Sustainable Development Primer
A quickstudy outline of sustainable development for planners and policy-makers, with extensive web references for more in-depth information on each topic.
http://www.sustainable-city.org/document/primer/

Extractions: By Beryl Magilavy Sustainable development, which includes community development, environmental protection, natural resource conservation, and local economic development, is becoming more widely practiced in Europe, while lagging behind as a US development strategy. Since sustainable development planning requires civic planners and private developers to understand a number of new disciplines and to address their interconnections, it has been difficult for working professionals to gain an overview and access to specific implementation strategies. The author presents an outline of the key features of sustainable development that should be considered in new development, with extensive web references for more in-depth information on each topic.

Tanz The Postmodern Forest: Images Differing by Dr. Steven Taubeneck Sustainable Development: What Do We Owe to Future Generations? by Dr. Thomas Hurka INTRODUCTION The conference was organized around the idea that sustainable development and competition are in some sense competing visions of our global future. Nowhere is this potential conflict more salient than in the forestry industry. Canada, and B.C. in par ticular, shares with Germany a concern for the fate of forests and for the industries based on forest resources. This conference sought to bring together academics from both Canadian and German universities to explore the ethical challenges associated with these competing visions. Those attending the conference had the opportunity to hear talks from a wide variety of specialties, ranging from botany to cultural studies to philosophy. Of the talks given, four were developed into papers to be included in this publication. Special thanks go to Dr. Schutt for making his speaking notes available for this purpose.

Extractions: -And, peoples' capacities to meet their needs are not systematically undermined. Put in more positive terms, in a "sustainable" world natural and human systems will be regenerative: increasing in health, resilience, diversity and complexity. It is a world that is getting better all the time for all its creatures. In this context, "sustainable development" refers to the many tools and processes we can use to move toward such a world, such as efficient energy use; "green" building; socially responsible investing; simple living; mixed use, inter-modal urban development, etc.

Extractions: Language: de en Home About ... EASY-ECO You are here: RIMAS Sustainable development is an important challenge for our time - one which we at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration wish to thoroughly analyse. Here, the topic is addressed from a variety of angles including Corporate Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, Good Governance, innovation research, and sustainable consumption. A total of ten institutes and departments of the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration deal with economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable development. In the late 1990s, these activities were consolidated and reinforced in interdisciplinary projects with the establishment of a Research Centre for Managing Sustainability, which in 2005 became the Research Institute for Managing Sustainability. We hope that our website will provide you with necessary background information on the topics we are dealing with and the projects and publications we are or have been working on. Besides describing our capabilities, it also introduces our team and our network. Moreover you can find information on the FP6 EU project EASY-ECO, which offers conferences and training possibilities regarding evaluation in the context of sustainable development.
