ABSTRACT
Given that sustainability planning aims to bring about major changes in a range of areas, how can this be done? What methods might be particularly useful to planners, political leaders, or activists? Possible options include many traditional urban planning strategiesif handled in creative and proactive ways-as well as some new tools that have been developed particularly with sustainable development in mind, such as sustainability indicators, green development rating systems, and ecological footprint analysis. Educational and consensus-building processes, as well as old-fashioned political organizing and coalitionbuilding, are also important.
