Sustainable Development |
Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the 
present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs. This
multidisciplinary focus integrates environmental, economic, and social development policies.
Among the key components of sustainable development are consideration of the interface between land use and transportation, planning for bicycle and pedestrian modes of transportation, and the evaluation of alternative future demographic scenarios.
