The vital role of land-use planning in the quest for sustainability has been recognised only very recently. Yet real confusion still exists on what 'sustainability' means and whether or not it refers principally to sustainable development. This paper traces the origins of the concept in the destructive power of population growth and the expansion of economic activity since the mid-eighteenth century, a secular phenomenon which has led to the rise of the environmentalist movements, particularly since the mid-1960s. It is argued that the key mother-concept is that of a sustainable society. Within that context a number of reasons are given for the protagonistic role of planning in achieving sustainability. A sustainability principle is proposed comprising five fields of action for land-use planning and the paper concludes by arguing that planning has entered a new age in the responsibilities which confront it. |
