SUSTAINABLE LAND USE PATTERNS& CLEAN TRANPORTATION OPTIONS

PRINCIPLES OF USING LAND SUSTAINABLY

  Mix land uses.  Take advantage of compact building design.  Create housing opportunities and choices.  Create walk able communities.   Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas.  Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities.  Provide a variety of transportation choices.(clean transportation)  Make development decisions predictable, fair, and cost-effective.

Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions.

Sustainable Planning Recommendations 

Integrate open space requirements for new development with the green infrastructure plan to provide maximum wildlife connections.

  Require low-impact development techniques for new and re-development.  Produce and adopt an illustrated development guidelines document.  Require new development to meet ecological function and restoration

goals.  Ensure that all new county buildings are environmentally friendly by

designating staff to facilitate the county’s adoption and implementation of a green building program. 

Foster the use of green building techniques in the private sector.

Seek grants to help offset initial costs associated with environmentally friendly design and building.

Our project----discusses the linkages between land use planning and policies on a variety of different aspects of sustainability, including economic development, environmental sustainability and social factors--------

Our project shows economic development which also benefit local communities and the environment only if three of them overlap.If only two out of three overlap, (for instance social and economic), it may result in a situation that is “equitable,” but does not necessarily consider the needs of the environment. Likewise, a situation that balances the social needs with environmental needs may be “bearable,” but may not result in optimal economic gains

Sustainability is a concept that means achieving an increasingly high level of public awareness and interest, and is beginning to shape land use policiesandclean transportation

Our next project discusses clean transport options--

Showing present status of clean fuel used i.e. CNG

Showing planned status of clean fuel used i.e. ethanol and solar energy

Showing future status of clean fuel used i.e. hydrogen gas

CNG

ETHANOL

HYDROGEN

Conclusions: Perceptions have begun to change-Use of CNG & environment

friendly resources testify to this. The damage already caused needs more effective and mass scale

measures to improve living conditions. Effective planning to reduce pollution e.g. use of solar energy is

an effective tool-economically & environmentally. Further minimization of environmental degradation requires

innovative strategies like use of Hydrogen as a fuel or green construction.
