Problem: It would be useful to identify
and connect the major ideas of American
environmental planning from the late 19th
century up to today, to show its evolution
over time and anticipate its potential future
direction.
Purpose: I aim to tie together the major
ideas of American environmental planning,
showing how they have evolved, and suggest
what additional changes will be required to
progress further toward sustainability.
Methods: I review the literature, defining
five time periods that are useful for under-
standing and analyzing environmental
planning successes and shortcomings.
Results and conclusions: Environ-
mental planning has its roots in the physical
design of cities and the tension between
conserving natural resources for human use
and protecting wilderness. In the 1920s,
regional environmental planning emerged.
Federal environmental impact statements
were first required in the 1970s, along with
efforts to clean up and prevent pollution.
A backlash against government command
and control began in the 1980s, leading
governments to use incentives to address
environmental problems. The current era
makes sustainability the goal, tying together
the ideas and practices of the previous eras
and blending regulation and financial
incentives to address national and global
environmental problems, such as climate
change. To reduce carbon footprints and
increase water and energy conservation in
the face of significant population growth in
the United States will require making
environmental planning a political priority,
with the goals of curbing sprawling land
A Trail Across Time
American Environmental Planning From
City Beautiful to Sustainability
Thomas L. Daniels
E
nvironmental planning is the theory and practice of making good,
interrelated decisions about the natural environment (natural
resources, wildlife, and natural hazards), working landscapes (farms,
forests, and lands from which minerals are extracted), public health (air and
water pollution, toxics, and waste disposal), and the built environment (Daniels
& Daniels, 2003). This article is organized around five time periods, in each
of which I argue that American environmental planning defined the most
pressing environmental problems of the day; exhibited public and private
strategic capacity and willingness to plan responses to those problems; and
developed and used scientific knowledge and planning technology to manage
the environment. I judge environmental planning in each of these eras by
whether it did or did not improve environmental quality (Fiorino, 2006;
Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999; Ndubisi, 2002).
Each era that I identify in American environmental planning has distinct
problems and presents new ideas and approaches to managing the environment.
Each brought thought and practice further along, closer to what it would be
in the next period. Taken together, they define the trail toward planning for
sustainability and for the entire global biosphere (see Figure 1). ...

Introduction CHAPTER 8
Thus far, this book has introduced the foundations needed to understand public pol-icy and how policy is made, implemented, and changed within the U.S. political setting. Moving forward, Chapters 8 through 12 will provide case studies of specific
social policy issues at the federal level. Each chapter will begin by exploring how a par-
ticular policy area has evolved in contemporary times and will then use that policy issue
to illustrate a particular stage of the policy process discussed in Chapters 4 through 7.
This chapter will discuss problem identification in terms of environmental policy; Chapter 9
will discuss public agenda setting and the policy-making agenda in terms of education policy;
Chapter 10 will discuss how policy is formulated in terms of welfare policy; Chapter 11 will
discuss policy adoption in terms of health-care policy reform; and Chapter 12 will discuss
policy implementation and evaluation in terms of immigration policy.
The United States provides a good case study in environmental policy making, because
it serves as a role model of success and failure for other nations. Understanding U.S. fed-
eral environmental policy clarifies environmental policy at local, state, and international
levels. Environmental policy making in the United States has evolved over time and
over various presidential administrations. From the early days of the nation, when there
existed a general perception of infinite land and inexhaustible natural resources, to the
later part of the 20th century, which saw an increased desire for sustainable development,
the goals of environmental policy and the surrounding ideological belief systems have
influenced how environmental problems are identified. The approach to environmental
policy making in the United States has been one of command and control. That is to say,
environmental policy has been about setting legal limits and threatening violators with
punishment. The federal government and state governments promote desirable behavior
or discourage undesirable activities using subsidies, taxes, and tax breaks.
In all industrialized countries since the early 1980s, policy agendas have given environ-
mental issues an increasingly prominent place (Heidenheimer, Heclo, & Adams, 1990).
The number of political parties and political leaders representing themselves as “green”
reflects the importance of such issues for policy makers. Environm.

weakness of an asset (resource) that can be exploited by one or more attackers. In other words, it is a known issue that allows an attack to succeed.
For example, when a team member resigns and you forget to disable their access to external accounts, change logins, or remove their names from company credit cards, this leaves your business open to both intentional and unintentional threats. However, most vulnerabilities are exploited by automated attackers and not a human typing on the other side of the network.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. 178
Problem: It would be useful to identify
and connect the major ideas of American
environmental planning from the late 19th
century up to today, to show its evolution
over time and anticipate its potential future
direction.
Purpose: I aim to tie together the major
ideas of American environmental planning,
showing how they have evolved, and suggest
what additional changes will be required to
progress further toward sustainability.
Methods: I review the literature, defining
five time periods that are useful for under-
standing and analyzing environmental
planning successes and shortcomings.
Results and conclusions: Environ-
mental planning has its roots in the physical
design of cities and the tension between
conserving natural resources for human use
and protecting wilderness. In the 1920s,
regional environmental planning emerged.
Federal environmental impact statements
were first required in the 1970s, along with
efforts to clean up and prevent pollution.
A backlash against government command
and control began in the 1980s, leading
governments to use incentives to address
2. environmental problems. The current era
makes sustainability the goal, tying together
the ideas and practices of the previous eras
and blending regulation and financial
incentives to address national and global
environmental problems, such as climate
change. To reduce carbon footprints and
increase water and energy conservation in
the face of significant population growth in
the United States will require making
environmental planning a political priority,
with the goals of curbing sprawling land
A Trail Across Time
American Environmental Planning From
City Beautiful to Sustainability
Thomas L. Daniels
E
nvironmental planning is the theory and practice of making
good,
interrelated decisions about the natural environment (natural
resources, wildlife, and natural hazards), working landscapes
(farms,
forests, and lands from which minerals are extracted), public
health (air and
water pollution, toxics, and waste disposal), and the built
environment (Daniels
& Daniels, 2003). This article is organized around five time
periods, in each
of which I argue that American environmental planning defined
the most
pressing environmental problems of the day; exhibited public
3. and private
strategic capacity and willingness to plan responses to those
problems; and
developed and used scientific knowledge and planning
technology to manage
the environment. I judge environmental planning in each of
these eras by
whether it did or did not improve environmental quality
(Fiorino, 2006;
Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999; Ndubisi, 2002).
Each era that I identify in American environmental planning has
distinct
problems and presents new ideas and approaches to managing
the environment.
Each brought thought and practice further along, closer to what
it would be
in the next period. Taken together, they define the trail toward
planning for
sustainability and for the entire global biosphere (see Figure 1).
This trail has
development, and changing lifestyles and
business practices.
Takeaway for practice: Environmental
planning ideas have been around for the past
century and underlie the currently popular
concept of planning for sustainability.
However, environmental planning has been
only modestly effective at influencing
business practices and lifestyles. To change
this, federal and local governments will have
to lead by example, pursuing environmental
sustainability as seriously as they pursue
economic growth.
5. The First Era: Getting on the
Green Path
The origins of environmental planning in America
preceded the first national planning conference of 1909,
largely coinciding with the reform movement of the Pro-
gressive Era, between 1890 and 1920 (Hays, 1959; Schuyler,
1986). Population growth and industrial development
were well underway in American cities by the latter half of
the 19th century, producing extensive environmental
change. Laissez-faire capitalism, lack of popular support
for state or federal government action, and corrupt local
governments all contributed to poor environmental quality
in the United States. Cities, particularly in the Northeast
and Midwest, suffered from air-polluting factories, copious
manure from horse-drawn transport, and minimal sewage
treatment that resulted in chronic water pollution. Green
spaces were in short supply, and housing was often
crowded and unsanitary. These problems were exacerbated
by a surge in immigration, mainly from southern and
eastern Europe, between 1890 and 1910 (Peterson, 2003).
By 1910, nearly half of America’s 92 million people lived
in urban places and the nation had added a stunning 16

million net residents in the decade of 1900–1910 (U.S.
Census Bureau, 2008). New York City was a major entry
point for immigrants, and thus it comes as no surprise
6. that New York’s Committee on Congestion of Population
was a prime mover behind the initial national planning
conference (Reps, 1965).
During the first era of environmental planning, the
parks and playgrounds, city beautiful, and garden cities
movements all attempted to use physical planning and
urban design to respond to the deplorable conditions of
industrial cities (see Table 1).
Urban Parks and Playgrounds Movements
Beginning in the latter half of the 19th century, urban
reformers called for parks that served entire cities as well as
neighborhood playgrounds (Girardet, 2004; Marsh, 1864;

Schuyler, 1986). According to Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.,
parks were places where nature and the built environment
met in harmony, where all classes of society could interact
peacefully, and where environmental services like drainage,
water filtration and flood control occurred naturally
(Girardet, 2004; Schuyler, 1986).
Olmsted and Calvert Vaux’s 1857 design for New
York City’s Central Park and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park,
authorized by the New York legislature in 1859, were
9. sufficiently large to serve as green refuges from urban life
(Schuyler, 1986). Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, the Boston
metropolitan area’s 1,100-acre system of parks and parkways
begun in 1878, reflected a more regional plan. Notably, the
Emerald Necklace gave rise to the land trust movement in
America, and provided the original model for the involve-
ment of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in envi-
ronmental planning when landscape architect Charles Eliot
formed the Trustees of Reservations in 1891 in part to
protect the Boston parklands (Brewer, 2003).
Urban reformers also called for the construction of
small playgrounds in slum neighborhoods and adjacent to
schools to provide places for children (especially immigrant
children) to have wholesome, supervised recreation, keeping
them off the streets and out of trouble. First supported by
philanthropists, nearly 2,000 supervised playgrounds
existed in more than 300 U.S. cities by 1910 (Nolen, 1910).
City Beautiful
To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher
Columbus’s voyage to America, Congress chose Chicago to
host the World’s Columbian Exhibition in 1892–1893.
Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. and architect/
planner Daniel Burnham, the 600-acre site included classical-
style exhibition buildings, a wooded island park, and the
Midway Plaisance, a forerunner of the modern amusement
park (Reps, 1965). The fair (also called the White City for
its architecture) initiated the city beautiful movement,
which was characterized by the construction of civic centers,
tree-lined boulevards, and public spaces; by the imposition
of order on chaotic industrial cities; and by including
nature in the city (Peterson, 2003).
In the early 20th century, Cleveland and Columbus,
10. OH, Washington, DC, Harrisburg, PA, Philadelphia, and
San Francisco embarked on city beautiful planning (Peter-
son, 2003). The most ambitious city beautiful plan, the
Plan of Chicago, was unveiled in July 1909, shortly after the
first national planning conference. Commissioned by the
city’s Commercial Club and overseen by Daniel Burnham,
the Chicago plan featured a massive park system extending
from the city into the larger region, with parks of varying
scales and miles of tree-lined boulevards knitting the
system together (Peterson, 2003; Reps, 1965). Among the
Chicago plan’s accomplishments were the creation of the
lakefront park developed between 1917 and 1930 and the
establishment of the Forest Preserve District (1914) that
today encompasses more than 30,000 acres (Encyclopedia
of Chicago, 2008).
Garden Cities
The appalling pollution and congestion of British
industrial cities, especially London, prompted Englishman
Ebenezer Howard to set out an alternative regional settle-
ment pattern in Tomorrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform
(1898) later published as Garden Cities of Tomorrow (1902).
Howard envisioned a series of self-sufficient satellite cities
connected to each other and to a central city by rail lines.
Encircled by greenbelts designed to limit growth and
provide space for recreation and agriculture, each garden
city would have a maximum population of 30,000, and all
residents would live and work within the city (Howard,
1902; Parsons & Schuyler, 2002). The goal was to com-
bine the best features of country and city life, balancing
development with nature. Howard helped build two ex-
perimental garden cities: Letchworth and Welwyn, on the
outskirts of London, which have since become attractive
commuter suburbs. Register (2006) refers to these garden
11. cities as the world’s first “ecocities” because of their harmony
with nature (p. 100).
Americans experimented with garden cities in the
1920s and 1930s, notably through the Regional Planning
Association of America, founded by architects Clarence
Stein and Henry Wright and supported by Lewis Mumford
and Benton MacKaye, among others. Stein and Wright
designed and garnered financial support for two private
developments, Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, NY, and
Radburn, NJ. Due to the Depression, Radburn was only
partially realized, but stood as a model for later planned
unit developments featuring clustered housing arranged
around large open spaces (Stein, 1951). During the New
Deal, Stein served as an advisor to the Resettlement Ad-
ministration, which built three greenbelt cities: Greenbelt,
MD, Greenhills, OH, and Greendale, WI (Arnold, 1971).
Wilderness Protection and Conservation
of Natural Resources
A fourth movement within the first era of environ-
mental planning involved federal policies promoting the
wise use of natural resources and the preservation of wilder-
ness areas instead of the rapacious resource exploitation
common in the 19th century (Hays, 1959). But a debate
arose between those advocating wilderness protection and
those advocating conserving natural resources for human
75-2 07 374990 Daniels qc2:JAPA 70-1-8 Laurian 3/10/09
12:50 PM Page 181
use. Under President Theodore Roosevelt, who would
leave office early in 1909, the federal government greatly
12. expanded its efforts to protect wildlife and conserve natural
resources. Roosevelt, widely acknowledged as America’s
most conservation-minded president, created the National
Wildlife Reserve System in 1903 and the U.S. Forest
Service in 1905 (Hays, 1959). However, these two acts
showed Roosevelt’s ambivalence toward the federal govern-
ment’s role: How much of the environment should be set
aside in its natural state, and how much should be used for
human consumption? This longstanding debate culminated
in the struggle over whether to build a dam in the Hetch
Hetchy Valley of Yosemite National Park, beginning in
1901. The dam was eventually built, but marked the first
of many arguments over damming western rivers that
continue today (Hays, 1959).
The debate about the use of natural resources pitted
the wilderness preservationists, led by John Muir, founder
of the Sierra Club in 1892, against conservationist Gifford
Pinchot, who believed that natural resources should be
managed for sustained yields and used wisely for human
benefit (Hays, 1959). Muir shared the sentiments of Henry
David Thoreau, who famously stated that, “In wildness is
the preservation of the world” (Thoreau, 1862/1967).
Pinchot was mindful of the warnings of George Perkins
Marsh (1864), who in Man and Nature described human
activity, such as overharvesting timber, that led to soil
erosion and flooding. Roosevelt had appointed Pinchot as
the first head of the Forest Service, yet he also was greatly
impressed with Muir (Shabecoff, 1993). This debate
continues to this day, especially over planning the multiple
uses (timber harvesting, recreation, watershed protection,
livestock grazing, and wilderness) of the 191 million acres
of national forests (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
First Era Assessment
The first era of environmental planning provided
13. a strong basis for future urban and regional ecological
planning, natural resources planning, and the balancing
of nature and development. The construction of parks,
playgrounds, and central sewer and water systems led city
officials to recognize their responsibilities for the quality of
the environment and public health. The federal government
began to act as a steward of the nation’s natural resources
through the National Forest, National Wildlife Refuge,
and National Park systems.
The early emphasis on physical planning and urban
design did not come close to controlling air pollution,
solving water pollution problems, or dealing with solid and
hazardous waste. Business interests continued to impose the
external costs of their production processes on the public
in the form of air, water, and land pollution, underscoring
local government’s tendency to value economic growth
above the quality of the environment. Yet, led by Los
Angeles and New York, cities began to adopt zoning to
separate conflicting land uses to better protect public
health, safety, and welfare (Reps, 1965). Concentrating
noxious uses in industrial zones, for instance, reduced the
threat that industrial air and water pollution would cause
health problems for inhabitants of separate residential
zones.
The garden city movement enjoyed only minor success
as an alternative to the new residential suburbs, which were
the precursors of automobile-dependent suburban sprawl,
and the broad visions of the city beautiful movement were
not realized as widely as those of the site-specific parks and
playgrounds movement.
The first era of environmental planners employed only
14. limited technology and scientific knowledge. One impor-
tant contribution was the overlay, a series of maps that
could be layered one on top of the other to record and
communicate data for analyzing a site or region. The
overlay was pioneered by Charles Eliot and later widely
used by planner and landscape architect Ian McHarg (1996).
Water supplies for large cities were increasingly developed
in the hinterlands, such as New York City’s Catskills
reservoirs and San Francisco’s Hetch Hetchy source in the
Sierras (Daniels & Daniels, 2003). Sewerage systems and
treatment plants were built, but storm sewers were not
separated from sanitary sewers, leaving waterways vulnerable
to combined sewer overflows during rain storms. These
continue to plague hundreds of cities to this day (Daniels
& Daniels, 2003).
The Second Era: Regional Ecological
Planning and Natural Science
During the second era of U.S. environmental planning,
from the 1920s to 1969, planners pursued regional eco-
logical planning, balanced development and wilderness
protection, and conducted environmental impact assess-
ments, combining the preservation and conservation
principles of the first era with the garden city ideal. But
the main innovation of the second era was incorporating
science into environmental assessment. Ecology, the study
of relationships within natural systems of hydrology, geology,
biology, and botany, grew into a body of knowledge
(McHarg, 1969). The efforts begun at this time to plan sites
and regions so as to fit humans unobtrusively into ecological
systems continue today (McHarg, 1996; Randolph, 2004).

Association of America (RPAA) combined garden city ideas
with the conservation of natural resources and wilderness
protection to create regional ecological planning. The RPAA
saw the spread of urban development into the countryside
as a serious threat to the natural environment. RPAA
members argued that maintaining and enhancing natural
systems was essential and that humans must fit compatibly
within watersheds and plant and animal communities.
RPAA member Clarence Stein served as chairman
of the New York State Housing and Regional Planning
Commission, which produced the nation’s first state-level
land use plan in 1925. It called for transportation corridors,
settlement nodes, and the preservation of rural land. Lewis
Mumford was the chief spokesperson for the RPAA and
took the lead in promoting the concept of regional eco-
logical planning. Inspired by Scottish botanist and planner
Patrick Geddes, he saw the region as a set of environmental
relationships among terrain, climate, and soils which in
turn shaped human culture (Mumford, 1927). Mumford
envisioned a region deliberately settled in an organic,
decentralized fashion that balanced nature with the built
environment (Luccarelli, 1995). But it remained unclear
what level of government could adopt and implement a
settlement policy for multistate regions, such as that sur-
rounding New York City. Fellow RPAA member Benton
16. MacKaye incorporated Mumford’s regional ideas into his
own thinking (Parsons, 1994).
MacKaye, a trained forester, combined Mumford’s
idea of the ecological region with Pinchot’s ideas about
conserving natural resources and Muir’s love of wilderness.
He called for regional economic development linked with
ecological planning, so that residents and visitors could
“pass from civilization into the wild” (Luccarelli, 1995,
p. 88). MacKaye envisioned regions as networks of villages
or small cities, connected by highways that ran through the
countryside without inducing sprawling development
(MacKaye, 1928). Today, MacKaye is best known as the
father of the Appalachian Trail, which he proposed in 1921
to act as a natural buffer against what he saw as a metropoli-
tan invasion of the countryside (MacKaye, 1921, 1928). In
1937, MacKaye helped forge a coalition of hiking organiza-
tions, states, and the federal government to make the more
than 2,100-mile trail from Maine to Georgia a reality.
Federal environmental policy during the New Deal
expanded federal involvement in planning settlements,
restoring degraded environments, and making better use of
natural resources. A number of New Deal agencies com-
bined Pinchot’s idea of wise use of natural resources with
regional ecological planning. The plowing up of fragile
soils together with a prolonged drought in the Great Plains
devastated millions of acres of farmland during the infa-
mous Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. In response, Franklin
Roosevelt’s administration created the Soil Conservation
Service to work with farmers on conserving soil and water
resources through better farming practices (Steiner, 1990).
The National Resources Planning Board (1934–1943) was
formed as a federal economic planning and development
office and compiled numerous reports on the condition of
17. the nation’s land and water resources with an eye toward
the wise use of those resources for economic growth
(Clawson, 1981). The short-lived Resettlement Admin-
istration was created to move people away from the Dust
Bowl, but the federal government fell short of adopting
regional settlement policies on a national scale to balance
population with the carrying capacity of the environment.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) used reforestation,
better farming methods, and dam construction to restore
regional ecology and pursue economic development in one
of the nation’s most backward regions.
The successes of regional ecological planning occurred
mainly in rural areas, and included the programs of the
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (1969), Adirondack
Park Agency in upstate New York (1971), the Land Use
Regulation Commission in the Unorganized Territories
of northern Maine (1971), and the New Jersey Pinelands
Commission (1979). These regions are now managed to
balance human activities with ecological health, much as
Lewis Mumford and Benton MacKaye had advocated. More
recently, New York City joined this tradition, purchasing
land and development rights, replacing failing septic systems,
and promoting improved conservation practices on farms
and in forests to protect its water supply sources in the
Catskill and Delaware watersheds at a cost of about $1
billion, rather than building a $6 billion water filtration
plant (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
Balancing Development With
Wilderness Protection
In the 1960s, wilderness protection was the main
concern of most environmentalists, in the tradition of John
Muir, and they wanted the federal government to take
action (Shabecoff, 1993). They scored a major victory with
18. The Wilderness Act of 1964, which set aside more than 30
million acres of national forest as wilderness and created a
process for designating additional federal lands as wilder-
ness (Daniels & Daniels, 2003). In 1965, Congress created
the Land and Water Conservation Fund, funded by annual
revenues from oil and mineral leases on federal lands, to
purchase lands for wilderness and recreation. In 1968,
Congress passed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to protect
75-2 07 374990 Daniels qc2:JAPA 70-1-8 Laurian 3/10/09
12:50 PM Page 183
wilderness and other largely unspoiled areas from develop-
ment. The theme of balancing development and wilderness
protection appeared in the 1973 Endangered Species Act,
probably the most far-reaching federal environmental law,
which applies to all public and private land and requires
the identification of critical habitat and recovery plans for
plants and animals on the endangered species list (Daniels
& Daniels, 2003). Shortly before leaving office, President
Carter signed the Alaska National Interest Lands and
Conservation Act of 1980, which designated 56 million
acres as wilderness. And in 2001, President Clinton declared
58.5 million acres of the national forests as roadless areas,
in effect making them off limits for timber harvesting and
development (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
Environmental Impact Assessment
In January of 1970, President Nixon signed the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which also
created the Council on Environmental Quality to oversee
implementation of the act itself. NEPA established a process
for the review of federal policies and projects that could
19. affect environmental quality and irreversibly alter natural
resources. The heart of NEPA is the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) process that screens all proposed federal
projects, funding, permits, policies, and actions for
potential environmental effects.
This requirement opened up a demand for environ-
mental planners with training in geology, biology, botany,
and hydrology (Ndubisi, 2002). They used landscape archi-
tect Ian McHarg’s pioneering system of land classification
based on layering information on soils, slope, drainage,
water supplies, wildlife, and vegetation (Wallace-McHarg
Associates, 1963) to analyze sites and landscapes for devel-
opment potential and constraints (McHarg, 1969). This
method was the precursor of GIS, now widely used to for
environmental evaluation and to determine environmental
carrying capacity.
Assessment of the Second Era
The federal government played a significant role in
environmental planning during the New Deal by creating
new agencies and programs, such as the Soil Conservation
Service and the TVA. This activism resurfaced in the 1960s
with the passage of The Wilderness Act, the Wild and
Scenic Rivers Act, and the Land and Water Conservation
Fund. Of special note in the second era is the rise of
NGOs in environmental planning and their ability to
influence environmental thinking and outcomes. The
RPAA, the Wilderness Society, the Nature Conservancy,
and others got their start in this second era. Meanwhile,
business continued to ignore the environment, and the
nation’s environmental quality declined, especially after
World War II, as urban sprawl spread and the chemical
industry expanded rapidly.
20. The technology and science of planning were still
rather basic, but the creation of county soils maps by the
Soil Conservation Service and McHarg’s layers approach,
which built on Eliot’s overlays, were noteworthy achieve-
ments. From the early 1920s to the end of the 1960s,
America’s population doubled from 100 to 200 million.
But deteriorating air and water quality, contaminated
industrial sites, suburban sprawl, and loss of wildlife habitat
suggested that the nation’s most pressing environmental
problems were not being successfully addressed. Although
local government planning became more widespread after
the Standard Zoning and Planning Enabling Acts of the
1920s, the impact of local development decisions on the
environment was not fully appreciated, and economic
growth remained the top priority in most localities.
The Third Era: The Birth of Modern
Environmental Planning
From the start of World War II to the 1960s, envi-
ronmental issues took a back seat to international conflicts,
though the metropolitan countryside suburbanized and
central cities declined as Mumford and MacKaye had
predicted, especially in the Rust Belt. Resistance to suburban
sprawl began to emerge in the 1960s (Rome, 2001). Large
development projects, such as the proposed electric gener-
ating plant at Storm King Mountain on the Hudson River,
galvanized opposition. Rachel Carson’s (1962) famous
book, Silent Spring, described the destruction of nature
wrought by the chemical industry. In short, the modern
environmental movement was born (Shabecoff, 1993).
In its first phase, from 1970 to 1981, the driver of the
modern environmental movement was not the individual
thinker and practitioner, as had been the case previously,
21. but the institutional framework of government policies
and laws. The modern environmental movement initially
emphasized federal command and control measures to
force industry and governments to clean up polluted air,
water, and land (Fiorino, 2006; Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999).
States created environmental agencies to help implement
the federal laws, 22 states created state environmental policy
acts, and some states adopted statewide plans featuring
natural resource protection (Healy & Rosenberg, 1979).
Pollution Clean Up and Control
During the 1960s, environmental problems became so
serious that they cried out for action, and the public and

Daniels: A Trail Across Time 185
Congress took note. The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970,
brought national attention to the poor environmental
quality: 60% of America’s waterways were not fit for
swimming or drinking and many city dwellers choked in
smog (Daniels & Daniels, 2003). The problems were
simply too big for cities, metropolitan regions, or even
states to handle. Moreover, the private sector had to be
included in environmental planning and regulation (Fiorino,
2006). Beginning in 1970, Congress and President Nixon
responded with the most sweeping environmental legislation
in the history of the United States.
22. The Clean Air Act of 1970, the Water Pollution
Control Act of 1972 (better known as the Clean Water
Act), and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 enabled
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; created
by President Nixon in 1970) to combine a command and
control regulatory approach with infrastructure funding to
clean up pollution and maintain environmental quality
(Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999). Finally, the funding and
regulation necessary to plan for the environmental resto-
ration and protection of cities and regions had begun at a
level beyond what Olmsted, Burnham, Howard, Mumford,
or MacKaye could have imagined. National air and water
quality standards were established to protect the public
health. Polluters faced fines or, in the case of water, had to
obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit to discharge pollutants into waterways.
Section 201 of the Clean Water Act provided more than
$150 billion in funding for municipal sewage treatment
plants and sewer lines and required states to do sewerage
facilities planning (Shabecoff, 1993). Even so, some 40%
of America’s waterways remain unfit for drinking or
swimming (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
Through the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA;
commonly known as Superfund) and the 1984 amendments
to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
the EPA began to address the problem of cleaning up
hazardous waste sites and improving the disposal of solid
waste. CERCLA authorized federal funds to clean up a list
of severely contaminated sites. The redevelopment of less
contaminated brownfield sites (of which there may be as
many as 500,000 across the nation) for commercial, indus-
trial, or residential uses is crucial for urban revitalization,
especially in Rust Belt cities (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
23. State-Level Planning for the Environment
In the 1970s, a number of states began to require local
governments to adopt comprehensive plans that incorpo-
rated state goals, including the protection of air, water,
coasts, and other natural resources (Bosselman & Callies,
1972; Healy & Rosenberg, 1979). Slowly, these environ-
mental issues started to appear in local plans, and local
governments drafted zoning provisions that protected
environmental features such as steep slopes and floodplains.
A few states, notably Vermont and Florida, established
state guidelines for reviewing developments of regional
impact (Healy & Rosenberg, 1979). In 1973, Oregon
instituted a sweeping state planning law that required local
comprehensive plans be consistent with statewide planning
to protect farm and forest lands, coastal resources, and
natural areas, and to concentrate most development within
urban growth boundaries (DeGrove, 2005).
Assessment of the Third Era
The initial phase of the modern environmental move-
ment led to spending hundreds of billions of dollars each
year on pollution cleanup and control (Fiorino, 2006). It
was starting to become apparent that environmental quality
was linked to economic growth, as well as to public health
and the general quality of life. The results have been im-
pressive; air and water pollution have been much reduced
(Daniels & Daniels, 2003; Speth, 2008). Many, though
not all, hazardous waste sites have been remediated. The
disposal of solid waste became safer and more orderly.
Private industry developed the capacity to comply with
environmental laws and recognized the need to cut pollu-
tion and waste (Fiorino, 2006). Popular awareness of the
24. environment rose, thanks to both federal legislation and
the annual celebration of Earth Day. The emergence of
state and local environmental planning was a noteworthy
achievement, and led localities to plan and implement
policies to create healthier, more attractive places to live,
work, and recreate (Healy & Rosenberg, 1979).
But the federal environmental legislation did not
emphasize place-making, a fundamental concern of planning
(Shutkin, 2000). And the command and control approach
assumed that government had adequate data and scientific
knowledge to set standards for air and water, which was
not always the case (Fiorino, 2006; Speth, 2008).
The Fourth Era: Backlash or a Bridge
to Sustainability?
The fourth era of environmental planning, which
began in 1982 and stretched through the George W. Bush
administration, ending in 2008, was also the second phase
of the modern environmental movement (Mazmanian &
Kraft, 1999). The primary environmental problem in this
phase was a backlash against government environmental
regulation, which was seen as too costly, inflexible, and
75-2 07 374990 Daniels qc2:JAPA 70-1-8 Laurian 3/10/09
12:50 PM Page 185
burdensome to private industry. During this period, two
Republican administrations, those of Ronald Reagan and
the second President Bush, tried vigorously to roll back
federal environmental regulations; but it was under Dem-
ocratic President Clinton that the shift of federal control
over many environmental regulations to the states began in
25. earnest (Fiorino, 2006). During this period the Montreal
protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, ratified
in 1987, also showed the limits of federal influence in
environmental matters by making it clear that some global
environmental challenges go far beyond national politics.
Meanwhile, the term smart growth came to describe states
and local government policies to allow economic and
population growth while protecting the environment and
quality of life.
A New Model of Federal
Environmental Planning
Planning is a political process, as was evident at the
beginning of the Reagan administration in 1981. In spite
of air and water quality improvements, Reagan reined in the
Department of the Interior and the EPA, whose environ-
mental regulators had been criticized as bureaucratic, puni-
tive, and adversarial toward industry and private property
owners (Fiorino, 2006). The Reagan administration also re-
quired cost-benefit analyses of proposed new environmental
regulations, and characterized environmental regulation
generally as a drag on economic growth (Speth, 2008).
At the same time, it also became apparent to environ-
mentalists that regulation alone was not necessarily the most
cost-effective or politically acceptable strategy. Federal
policy stressed financial incentives, cooperation, regulatory
flexibility, and negotiation rather than the command and
control regulatory approach, hoping to encourage markets
to produce more environmentally beneficial outcomes
(Mazmanian & Kraft, 1999). The federal government
aimed to work more collaboratively with industry and
local governments. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments,
enacted during the first Bush administration, exemplified
this approach, creating a cap-and-trade program that gave
26. industry incentives to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions
(Fiorino, 2006; Speth, 2008). A company that could
reduce emissions below a set cap could then sell pollution
credits to a company that was not able to reduce emissions
below its cap. The cap-and-trade approach did not specify
how companies should reduce emissions, but emphasized
the goal they should meet, and the cost of failing, providing
them with a strong financial incentive.
The Clean Air Act Amendments together with the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA)
of 1991 linked transportation planning with air quality
improvement through Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs). By their roles in MPOs, local governments gained
the power to influence how federal transportation dollars
would be spent, as long as compliance with the Clean Air
Act standards or progress toward those standards was
maintained (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
During this same period the federal government began
paying landowners to improve land management in the
Conservation Reserve Program (1985), and for conservation
easements to preserve their land through the Wetland
Reserve Program (1990) and the Farm and Ranchland
Protection Program (1996; Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
The Rise of Land Trusts
The Reagan years were a watershed for nonprofit
environmental planning organizations. In 1980, there were
about 400 private, nonprofit land trusts in the United
States. Today, more than 1,600 land trusts have preserved
nearly 40 million acres, thanks in part to large national
land trusts like The Nature Conservancy and the Trust for
Public Land (Land Trust Alliance, 2005). Large land trusts
27. with statewide, regional, or national scopes can implement
regional environmental planning by permanently preserving
land for natural areas, farmland, or forestland.
Assessment of the Fourth Era
The backlash against federal environmental regulation
and planning in the Reagan and George W. Bush admin-
istrations retarded environmental progress (Speth, 2008).
Economic growth and business interests were given top
priority, and federal environmental regulation was relaxed.
By contrast, the George H. W. Bush administration em-
phasized financial incentives for environmental planning in
the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and ISTEA.
During this period energy became an important envi-
ronmental issue. The oil price shocks of the 1970s should
have spurred the federal government to promote energy
conservation and mass transportation systems and develop
domestic supplies of renewable energy. Instead, the United
States now imports more than half of its oil, and only a
small fraction of the nation’s energy consumption comes
from renewable sources (Speth, 2008). Approximately 80%
of federal funding from ISTEA and subsequent transpor-
tation legislation has been spent on road construction and
maintenance, and only 20% on mass transit (Daniels &
Daniels, 2003). As a result, few of the nation’s metropolitan
regions possess much dense, mixed-use, transit-oriented
development clustered around bus, rail, or subway stations.
MPOs have had little influence on local and regional land
use planning, a serious flaw that undermines regional
environmental planning and public health.

On the positive side, environmental planners and the
land trust movement used financial incentives to encourage
positive environmental results and make markets more
efficient. For example, the cap-and-trade model worked
well in reducing sulfur dioxide emissions, and became the
model of choice for reducing carbon dioxide emissions
under the Kyoto protocol on climate change (Speth,
2004). Planning knowledge became more widely available
thanks to the expansion of the Internet, remote sensing,
computer modeling, and the growing use of GIS. And
companies gradually became aware that going green could
reduce operating costs and boost their profits (Fiorino,
2006).
The Fifth Era: Planning for
Sustainability and the Global
Environment
Sustainability
The 1987 World Commission on Environment and
Development report, Our Common Future, defined sus-
tainable development as “development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs” (p. 43). Thus,
stewardship is fundamental to the principle of sustainability,
which requires leaving the earth at least as well off as one
found it. The report also noted the limits of the biosphere
to absorb the effects of human activities and the need for
29. wealthier countries to “adopt lifestyles within the planet’s
ecological means” (p. 9). In particular, the report empha-
sized that “sustainable development can only be pursued if
population size and growth happen in harmony with the
changing productive potential of the ecosystem” (p. 9).
Thus, planning for sustainability must minimize waste
and pollution, conserve natural resources, and reflect the
carrying capacity of ecosystems.
Although we did not realize it at the time, the previous
four eras of environmental planning led us to our current
concern for sustainability. The first era showed how to
create a quality physical environment with a sense of place,
and that natural resources are finite and must be used
wisely. During the second era, ecological regional planning
learned to balance a region’s long-term environmental and
economic health. The third era showed that governmental
command and control measures can change business and
consumer behavior and reduce pollution. The fourth era
proved that financial incentives can produce more sustainable
lifestyles and business practices.
This latest era first, sees environmental planning as a
process, and sustainability as something to work toward
rather than something that will soon be achieved. Second,
it requires a holistic view of a city or region that includes
equal concern for environmental, economic, and social
sustainability (Newman & Jennings, 2008). It is simply
not possible to have one kind of sustainability without the
others. Campbell (1996) warned that planners must con-
sider environmental and social justice as they implement
urban greening projects. This new perspective also considers
environmental quality to be of the same importance as
economic growth. Third, under the sustainable planning
model all levels of government must work with the business
community and individuals to shape behavior and lifestyles
30. to be in harmony with nature (Register, 2006).
Topics of concern to sustainable environmental planning
include ecological planning, low-impact site design, Lead-
ership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)–
certified buildings and neighborhoods, public health and
settlement patterns, hazard mitigation and disaster planning,
conserving water supplies and protecting water quality,
alternative energy systems, biodiversity, access to green space,
promoting green jobs, environmental justice, multimodal
transportation, and, of course, climate change (Girardet,
2004; Register, 2006).
President Clinton appointed a Council on Sustainable
Development in 1993 and the Council’s report was pub-
lished in 1996 (President’s Council on Sustainable Devel-
opment, 1996). Even so, the United States has no clear
national policies on population, settlement, energy, or
water supply although increasing population will place
greater demands on natural resources and the ability of the
environment to assimilate pollution and waste. There are
now more than 300 million Americans, and by the end of
the 21st century it is projected that there will be more than
570 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004). As one environ-
mental historian put it, “It is clear enough that our current
ways are ecologically unsustainable” (McNeill, 2000, p. 358).
Global Environmental Planning
In 1972, the authors of The Limits to Growth (Meadows,
Meadows, Randers, & Behrens, 1972) caused an uproar by
predicting when the world would run out of some natural
resources and suggesting that economic growth based on
the exploitation of finite natural resources could not go on
forever. In 1989, McKibben claimed that there was virtu-
ally nowhere on earth that had not been altered by human
31. influence, and hence, that the end of true nature had been
reached (McKibben, 1989). Figure 2 lists what Gus Speth,
Dean of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental
Studies, considers to be the top 10 global environmental
75-2 07 374990 Daniels qc2:JAPA 70-1-8 Laurian 3/10/09
12:50 PM Page 187
challenges, which, cumulatively threaten global ecosystems
and the very existence of the world’s inhabitants.
So far, the United States has responded slowly to these
global environmental challenges (Speth, 2008). For instance,
the United States has long been a major producer of green-
house gases (Speth, 2008). The Kyoto protocol of 1997
proposed a global cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon
dioxide emissions in 2012 to at least 5% below 1990 levels
(Speth, 2004). As of 2008, America was the lone industrial
nation that had not signed the Kyoto protocol, under the
reasoning that the protocol would harm the U.S. economy
(Speth, 2008).
In the absence of federal environmental leadership, more
than 900 U.S. cities have signed the Sierra Club’s cool
cities pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7% or
more below 1990 levels by 2012 (Sierra Club, 2008). Several
cities have gone a step farther by drafting sustainability
plans that emphasize the curbing of greenhouse gases
(Wheeler, 2008). By early 2008, 23 states and at least a few
cities had adopted renewable portfolio standards requiring
local electricity providers to obtain a certain amount of
their electricity from renewable energy sources (Daniels,
2008).
32. Threats to sustainability are now matters of national
security because as a nation we have become dependent on
importing more than half of the oil we consume to support
our carbon-intensive lifestyle, and global climate change
poses potential threats to water resources from more frequent
and severe droughts, to wildlife from hotter temperatures,
and to coastal settlements from rising ocean levels (Gore,
2006).
Urban Ecological Planning
Within the first decade of the 21st century, more
humans will be living in cities than in villages and the
countryside for the first time in history (Girardet, 2004).
Urban areas are expected to increase in size and population
throughout the current century, underscoring the need for
safe, healthy, efficient, and attractive places for people to
live, work, and recreate (Newman & Jennings, 2008). At
the heart of urban environmental planning is the push for
air and water quality, energy conservation, walkability,
multimodal transit, green spaces, social inclusiveness,
economic success, and ultimately, sustainability (Alberti,
2008; Farr, 2007; Newman & Jennings, 2008; Register,
2006). A key concept is a city’s ecological footprint, defined
as the total amount of land resources used to support the
city’s residents (McNeill, 2000; Rees, 1992; Speth, 2008).
The lower the ecological footprint, the more harmony with
natural systems and the less energy and natural resources
consumed and waste generated. One way to reduce a
locality’s environmental footprint is to reduce its dependence
on cars (Kenworthy & Newman, 1999; Register, 2006).
In addition, urban environmental planners are applying
McHarg’s environmental layers as opportunities and
constraints, to understand the urban setting as a living
ecosystem with a sense of place rather than as simply a
33. collection of buildings (Spirn, 1984).
Comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and building
codes should be rewritten to enable practical models for
incorporating sustainability principles into urban environ-
mental planning (Beatley, 2000; Beatley & Manning, 1997;
Farr, 2007; Girardet, 2004; Jepson, 2004; Newman &
Jennings, 2008; Register, 2006). For example, Beatley and
Manning describe how Chattanooga, TN, the nation’s
most polluted city in 1969, became the greenest city in
America while developing a strong economy and providing
a substantial amount of affordable housing.
The new urbanist movement stresses the importance
of design in creating attractive, livable communities (Duany,
Plater-Zyberk, & Speck, 2001; Katz, 1993). New urbanism
does not place a strong emphasis on the natural environ-
ment, and the movement has been criticized for building
on greenfield sites (Gordon & Richardson, 1998), yet the
density, mixed uses, pedestrian-friendliness, green spaces,
and transit-oriented developments of new urbanism pro-
mote better air and water quality and healthier residents.
Architect Peter Calthorpe and planner William Fulton
advocate bounded dense settlements surrounded by open
countryside to curb sprawl (Calthorpe & Fulton, 2001).
Although far from achieving this vision, several cities
are stepping up their environmental planning efforts.
Chicago’s aggressive programs to plant trees and promote
green roofs and solar energy is a well-known example. New
York City’s watershed protection program and its latest

promote environmental quality while strengthening the
urban economy and transportation system, improving
quality of life even as the city’s population grows.
Assessment of the Fifth Era
Sustainability in environmental planning is a far-off
but worthy goal to work toward. Despite the achievements
of the command and control approach in the third era and
the introduction of financial incentives in the fourth era,
many environmental challenges remain (Speth, 2008).
35. Particulates from burning coal are still a leading cause of
air pollution, supplies of clean fresh water are becoming
increasingly precious, and automobile emissions are the
primary source of air pollution in many metropolitan
regions (Daniels & Daniels, 2003; Speth, 2008), and the
United States is adding over three million new residents
each year (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004).
American environmental planning is just beginning to
address sustainability. Part of the reason is the long-standing
tension between whether to give higher priority to economic
growth or environmental quality. Many decisions that
affect the environment are made at the local or regional
level where economic growth often gets more attention
than do environmental concerns. Practicing planners have
long struggled with politicians over incorporating environ-
mental issues into local comprehensive plans and promoting
zoning and subdivision codes that regulate development
while protecting environmental quality (Berke & Manta,
2001; Jepson, 2004). Indeed, we lack evidence on how
well the goals of federal laws like the Clean Air Act and
Clean Water Act have been incorporated into urban and
regional environmental plans (Daniels & Daniels, 2003).
To address their environmental problems, urban areas
will need significant reinvestment, which does not appear
to be forthcoming from the federal government. Thus,
state and local governments along with the private sector
and NGOs have begun to forge responses to climate
change and other environmental problems. But adequate
funding for environmental programs will continue to be
a major obstacle.
Changes in business practices and consumer behavior
are beginning to benefit the environment. Businesses are
recognizing that green products and green processes can
36. increase profits and reduce costs (Speth, 2008). Many
consumers want to buy products that produce minimal
environmental impact, and saving water and energy and
minimizing waste and pollution help companies’ profitability.
Conclusions: The Trail Toward a
Greener 21st Century
Environmental planning in America has evolved
substantially in response to social, political, and environ-
mental circumstances. Since the 1909 national planning
conference, the nation’s population has more than tripled,
the economy has multiplied many times, government and
corporate sectors have mushroomed, and threats to the
environment have become more widespread and often
cross political boundaries. In response, environmental
planning has grown from a handful of thinkers and prac-
titioners who emphasized physical planning and urban
design to an institutional policy and legal framework that
includes government, business, and nonprofit groups, as
well as individuals. The problems that originally prompted
environmental planning still exist: the need for parks and
playgrounds, inadequate urban infrastructure for clean
water and disposing of waste, the need for safe and healthy
places to live, and the desire to balance wise use of natural
resources with the preservation of wilderness. But modern
environmental planning aims to go beyond protecting
regional ecosystems and cleaning up local pollution to
embrace national and international sustainability.
Government and private sector capacity to plan for the
environment has increased enormously over the past 100
years. But the willingness to plan has wavered recently, par-
ticularly on the part of the federal government. Strategies
have changed over the period from physical design, to
command and control regulation, to financial incentives
37. for pollution control, regional ecological protection, urban
greening, and global cooperation.
Planning technology and scientific knowledge have
made major strides from rudimentary overlays to GIS,
remote sensing, computer modeling, and a far greater
understanding of biology, botany, geology, and hydrology
and how humans impact the environment. The biggest
problem environmental planning faces may be lack of
political will, not scientific uncertainty.
Have the theory and practice of American environ-
mental planning been equal to the challenges? Not in the
early years, when urban air pollution was hardly addressed.
Water pollution from combined sewer overflows continues
to be a major problem today. Suburban sprawl trumped
the garden city movement, but wilderness preservation has
been a noteworthy success. Regional ecological planning
has had a few impressive achievements, but mainly in rural
areas rather than metropolitan regions. Since 1970, pollu-
tion cleanup and control has been an expensive but largely
successful effort. The blending of regulations with financial
incentives and greater cooperation and collaboration has
75-2 07 374990 Daniels qc2:JAPA 70-1-8 Laurian 3/10/09
12:50 PM Page 189
produced some improvement in air quality. The goal of
sustainability holds promise as a new paradigm for environ-
mental planning. And greater awareness of human impacts
on the global environment may spur action, particularly to
address climate change. There is, in short, still much work
to be done (Speth, 2008). Yet history may not have
equipped us adequately for dealing with the host of serious
38. challenges we face. It is not clear whether sustainability has
truly achieved the same importance as economic growth,
though the future of the planet may depend on it.
Planners can take action to make the future better
both as professionals and as citizens. First, they should
minimize sprawling development patterns and work to
redevelop low density sprawl into urban places. Sprawling
development depends heavily on cars and trucks which
generate air pollution and climate-altering greenhouse gases
as well as increasing America’s dependence on imported
oil. Sprawl also contributes to water pollution when septic
systems fail and storm runoff is improperly managed. It is an
unsustainable form of development. Environmental planners
should blend command and control regulations (especially
zoning and urban growth boundaries), financial incentives,
and investment to promote sustainable settlement patterns.
Second, environmental planners can use regulations
and financial incentives to promote environmentally
friendly business practices and consumer lifestyles. It is
important to use regulation to ensure basic environmental
quality and to stop pollution at its source, but it is also
important that prices signal consumers and producers the
true costs of their choices, and enable them to make in-
formed choices that promote sustainability (Speth, 2008).
The principle that requires those who create negative ex-
ternalities to pay for them must apply not only to polluters
of air and water, but also to developers who build far from
established settlements. Financial incentives, such as cap-
and-trade systems to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and
other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change,
and greater cooperation among levels of government,
industry, and NGOs will be necessary.
Third, Americans must also adopt what Aldo Leopold
39. called a land ethic: “A thing is right when it tends to pre-
serve the integrity and stability and beauty of the biotic
community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise” (Leopold,
1929/1977, pp. 224–225). The stakes of environmental
planning are much higher now than they were in 1909.
Potential catastrophes from climate change now threaten
the entire planet, as well as America’s national security.
Thus, global environmental planning and sustainability are
about long-term human survival as much as quality of life.
Unless sweeping technological breakthroughs occur in the
production of clean, carbonless energy, food, fiber, and
drinking water, Americans will have to learn to leave
smaller ecological footprints in order to accommodate the
projected increase of more than 250 million Americans
over the course of the 21st century (U.S. Census Bureau,
2004). More compact settlements, urban revitalization,
and stricter standards for new developments will be key to
accommodating additional population with a minimum of
environmental impact on air and water quality, wildlife,
and energy consumption. Otherwise, the United States
might consider adopting a population and settlement
policy to limit population growth and better match the
location of population with environmental carrying capacity.
Such changes in American culture and values will
involve difficult investment choices, trade-offs, and political
decisions. For example, better mass transit will be essential
for the conservation of energy and reducing air pollution
and greenhouse gas emissions in U.S. metropolitan areas
(Yaro & Carbonell, 2007). But investing in mass transit
will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and will compete
with highway projects. The goal should be for the United
States, the world’s wealthiest country, to set an example for
the world in environmental planning and environmental
quality: act locally, think globally. And environmental
40. planning must involve more international cooperation to
manage the global biosphere and to address climate change
and the other challenges listed in Figure 2.
Fourth, both major political parties should embrace
environmental planning and sustainability. Republican
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon pushed
for major environmental legislation; and former Democratic
Vice President Al Gore has been the leading spokesperson
on climate change. Planning is fundamentally a political
process, and electing political candidates who support
environmental planning and sustainability is crucial. The
federal government should guide the United States and the
world toward greater sustainability, specifically:
1. Enact major controls, taxes or trading systems
to retard climate change;
2. Change or end programs that subsidize sprawl
and environmental degradation;
3. Increase funding for mass transit and the
development of renewable energy;
4. Elevate the EPA to a cabinet department to give
the environment its due place at the table in the
national decision-making process, and to put the
goal of a sustainable environment on a par with that
of a sustainable economy.
Fifth, fragmented, uncooperative local governments
compete to expand their property tax bases, often at the

expense of environmental quality and social cohesion. State
and federal regulations should compel local governments
to do better environmental planning, but more state and
federal funding for local infrastructure and planning will
be needed as well. For regional environmental planning to
succeed, Americans must revamp local governmental
structure and plan according to ecosystems, such as water-
sheds, rather than political boundaries, as MacKaye long
ago advocated.
Finally, let us keep in mind that at the 2109 national
planning conference, planners will look back at another
100 years of environmental planning and judge how well
we have managed not only America’s environment, but
also the global biosphere.
