Does Sustainable Development Offer a New Direction for Planning? Challenges for the Twenty-First Century

Department of City; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The practice and scholarship of planning has shifted from physical design to process. Process emphasizes diversity, openness, and consensus but is not fully equipped to offer a shared vision in political arenas dominated by fragmentation and conflict. Newurbanism has revived the idea that planning is about physical design, but this concept does not fully embrace a holistic vision of community building. This article explains howsustainable development extends the positive attributes of the first two approaches and offers a multigenerational vision of community building. This vision integrates multiple societal values and enhances local imagination, understanding, and commitment to defining solutions for the common good.
