Planning for Metropolitan Sustainability Export

@article{citeulike:3850873, abstract = {This article establishes a framework for thinking about sustainable development in the metropolitan context by investigating the origins of the sustainability concept and its meanings when applied to urban development, surveying historical approaches to planning the urban region, and analyzing ways in which a context can be created for regional sustainability planning. Sustainability is seen as requiring a holistic, long-term planning approach, as well as certain general policy directions such as compact urban form, reductions in automobile use, protection of ecosystems, and improved equity. Based on the experience of three sample regions, the article suggests a long-term strategic approach in which vision statements, coalition building, institutional development, intergovernmental incentive frameworks, indicators, public involvement, and social learning help create a regional context in which sustainable development is increasingly possible. 10.1177/0739456X0002000201}, author = {Wheeler, Stephen M.}, citeulike-article-id = {3850873}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0739456X0002000201}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://jpe.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/20/2/133}, day = {1}, doi = {10.1177/0739456X0002000201}, journal = {Journal of Planning Education and Research}, keywords = {neighborhood, planning, sustainablilty}, month = {December}, number = {2}, pages = {133--145}, posted-at = {2009-01-05 15:52:44}, priority = {4}, title = {Planning for Metropolitan Sustainability}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0739456X0002000201}, volume = {20}, year = {2000} }
