Abstract

For the author, the advent of the concept of sustainability has given rise to a new paradigm for development
grounded upon the notion that there are permanent physical limits that curtail this. This concept , very typical
of globalisation thinking should, it is here felt, be applied to local initiatives as well. but doing so would
require that the notion itself be very clearly understood. The opportunities this would open for interventions
within urban systems would here be of paramount importance given that it is precisely here that the major
instances of natural resources consumption and the producing of spoil takes place. It is held patent that the
field of Town and Country Planning must then be one of the prime fields for initiatives and interventions if
more sustainable cities are to be either designed or built. The present work is envisaged as a primary
suggestion as to an applying of sustainability in its strongest sense which here is taken to mean the bringing
within the limits that an ecology sets of a concrete instance of Town and Country Planning, the chance to
do so having arisen thanks to the EU project ENPLAN aimed at the developing of methodologies for strategic
environmental evaluation for various forms of planning.
