Sustainability notions have been widely embraced by planners.
However, the question of what can planners contribute to the
advancement of such notions has not received much attention until
now. This volume examines the potential contribution of planning to
the advancement of sustainability at sub-national level, and the
limitations it faces in doing so. Bringing together case studies
from the US, UK, Poland, Israel, South Africa, The Netherlands and
Italy, it covers a wide range of issues and contexts, ranging from
the metropolitan to the community level. On the basis of these case
studies, the book shows that planners do indeed have a variety of
options to advance sustainability notions at these levels, and
appear to be doing so. The book proposes that planners should
operate at two levels: firstly to change institutional structures,
and secondly to advance sustainability notions incrementally in the
meantime, within the existing institutional constraints.
