Abstract
  • Consensus-building can play a role in creating and maintaining sustainable communities. This article focuses on that role in achieving sustainability at the level of local communities, particularly in the context of United States planning practice. A design for sustainable consensus is proposed that addresses the process of developing public policy and describes the primary issues raised by the concept of sustainability and the key characteristics of the desired project outcomes. Examples from several community planning programs illustrate the application of this model to communities of diverse size, character, and geographic location.
