%X Sustainability, as put forth in the Brutland Commission¡¯s landmark report, Our Common Future, imposes ¡°limits to growth¡± to ensure development ¡°meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.¡± Grounded in urban planning, sustainability took root nearly a century ago in a set of regional plans John Nolen and Lewis Mumford put forth to limit growth and strike a balance between ecological relations and consumer demand. If their works were Utopian, they were also culled from the study of nature and history and they left a timeless legacy
