The authors have developed a Sustainable Communities Framework (SCF) which incorporates social-cultural, environmental and economic sustainability principles in the process of urban planning. The authors propose a five-step SCF built on an application of sustainability tables. The book examines a wide range of urban planning practices utilizing sustainability criteria, outlining both qualitative and quantitative tools. Separate chapters discuss application of the SCF to both the natural environment and the built environment. This framework is applied to a case study of the outer Sydney growth area of Wyong Shire, Central Coast, NSW, Australia. Addressing the question of how best to measure the environment, the authors present a table for selecting indicators of sustainability, and outline sustainability scorecards which use color-coded ratings of green, red and amber to measure indicators of sustainability. The authors show how aggregating these ratings allows the framework to be scaled up for application to larger areas. Finally, the authors show how scorecards can be incorporated in sustainability reports, with actions and monitoring components. The authors also examine urban planning education including land use planning, natural resource planning and sustainable urban planning, focusing on the extent to which schools incorporate principles of sustainability. The authors offer their critique on the movement of planning practices towards a more coordinated and holistic framework, in incorporating sustainability principles. Sustainable Communities: A Framework for Planning concludes by drawing a future scenario on the application of the SCF to incorporate principles of sustainability into urban planning. The authors propose future options for SCF applications, including adopting a systems program; environmental performance monitoring and showing how the framework will accommodate the social-cultural and economic components of sustainability, in addition to the environmental ones as examined in the case study. 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aCity planning 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aGeography 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aSocial Sciences, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000 606 $aGeography, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J00000 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aGeography. 615 14$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aSocial Sciences, general. 615 24$aGeography, general. 676 $a307.76 700 $aRauscher$b Raymond Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058686 702 $aMomtaz$b Salim$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298392603321 996 $aSustainable Communities: A Framework for Planning$92540336 997 $aUNINA
