 Communities make decisions everyday that affect the sustainability of both their community and the planet. Balancing a city's needs requires careful planning and foresight so that the quality of life is neither compromised here in the present nor in the future.
"Sustainable communities are cities and towns that prosper because people work together to produce a high quality of life that they want to sustain and constantly improve."
"Steps toward a more sustainable future include developing community -driven strategic planning and collaborative regional planning; improving community and building design; decreasing sprawl; and creating strong, diversified local economies while increasing jobs and other economic oppurtunities."
