Sustainable Development has become the rage in land use planning, zoning, and in virtually every other facet of daily life. This section provides an in-depth understanding of how this concept entered the public policy arena. the links in the left column provide detailed information about the events and the people who gave rise to the concept, and advanced the concept into public policy.
There is much more to Sustainable Development than simply protecting the environment. This concept, and its implementation, is dramatically transforming the very foundation of America’s system of governance.

Great stuff: I particularly liked: “Sustainable communities of the future will bear little resemblance to the towns and cities of the 20th century. Single-family homes will be rare. Housing will be provided by public/private partnerships, funded by government, and managed by non-government “Home Owners Associations.” Housing units will be designed to provide most of the infrastructure and amenities required by the residents. Shops and office space will be an integral part of each unit, and housing will be allocated on a priority basis to people who work in the unit - with quotas to achieve ethnic and economic balance. Schools, daycare, and recreation facilities will be provided. Each unit will be designed for bicycle and foot traffic, to reduce, if not eliminate, the need for people to use automobiles.”
No more private ownership of land or property; “collective” living spaces. Sounds like what the old U.S.S.R., i.e., Russia, is trying to move AWAY from.......what a nightmare; thankfuly, I’ll be dead by the time they get this going.
