Nothing inherent in the discipline steers planners either toward environmental protectionor toward economic development-or toward a third goal of planning: social equity. Instead,planners work within the tension generated among these three fundamental aims, which,collectively, I call the planner's triangle, with sustainable development located at its center.This center cannot be reached directly, but only approximately and indirectly, through asustained period of confronting and resolving the triangle's conflicts. To do so, plannershave to redefine sustainability, since its current formulation romanticizes our sustainablepast and is too vaguely holistic. Planners would benefit both from integrating social theorywith environmental thinking and from combining their substantive skills with techniques forcommunity conflict resolution, to confront economic and environmental injustice.
