Making it happen

Abstract

The final part of a ten part series on sustainability discusses implementation. The article outlines rules of conduct for achieving sustainable development. These total ten rules covering diverse areas such as public and government attitudes, finance, measuring sustainability, growth and quality of life and decision making frameworks. The article suggests the potential value of demonstration projects in working towards sustainability. It proposes the construction of several new towns built within the principles of sustainability to demonstrate that implementation is possible. The article concludes with a warning that time is short and schemes need the earliest possible action. -S.Tanner
