Sustainability Science and Planning: A Crucial Collaboration?

Planning Theory & Practice, 2019, vol. 20, issue 1, 53-69

Abstract: In this age of public skepticism about science, sustainability science offers a way to increase the application of science in planning and policy. This paper explores the relationship between science and society and the emergence of sustainability science. A comparison of the theory and practice of sustainability science and planning reveals the potential for a natural partnership. Based on the analysis, I suggest ways that planning may bridge the gap and build on the opportunity to strengthen its purpose and impact.
