Sustainable Development
  • Sustainable development is development that meets
    the needs of the present without compromising the
    ability of future generations to meet their own
    needs.
  • Our Common Future (The Brundtland Report), 1987
  • But what does it mean for us?

The Needs of Future Generations
  • How can we know what their needs will be?
  • We cant actually know but we do know that
    lasting quality sells, and over time represents
    an efficient use of resources
  • Current trends are for
  • smaller homes,
  • more compact (urban) development,
  • less emphasis on ownership shorter tenure
    rentals
  • But were still building a lot of sprawling
    residential development that sells

What Are the Desired Outcomes?
  • Connectivity / walkability
  • Mix of uses, mix of housing tenure and cost
  • Proximity of work and home
  • Denser development patterns from a time when
    people walked more
  • Support for local food production
  • Protection of natural and cultural resources
  • Re-use of existing structures
