| Abstract: |
Sustainability is a term that has received a significant
amount of attention in the public policy arena. Within the
planning profession, there has likewise been a growing recognition
of its possible relevance in the areas of land use and
general community development, and planners are increasingly
finding themselves either leading or being expected to
contribute to local sustainable development efforts. The
purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the
sustainability framework in terms of its scientific basis and
cultural interpretations and to identify and explore conceptual
associations that tend to tie it to the planning profession. |
