Is planning up to it?

Is planning up to it? - 2003 - Town & Country Planning 72(9) October 2003, 278-279(2) .

Questions whether the current British planning system is up to delivering sustainable development summarising research completed for an RICS Foundation paper "In pursuit of sustainable development: rethinking the planning system". Concludes that due to the complex nature of sustainable development policy it would be simpler and more relevant for the planning system to aim for environmental sustainability rather than sustainable development. Although this may seem more limiting it would work well in implementing environmental justice in planning decisions and weighing up the pros and cons of development.
