• W788898283 abstract "AbstractIn recent decades, such global institutions as the United Nations (U.N.) have promoted development, loosely defined as improving the human condition without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. In its advocacy, the U.N. has called for the crafting of measures to benchmark current conditions and mark progress toward the overall goal. As national and subnational governments have undertaken these activities, they have also been involved in developing a wide range of monitoring tools, especially defining indicators reflective of their distinctive programs in this arena. The work of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities (PSC), an alliance between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, founded in 2009, provides an example of this phenomenon. Working with researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Institute for Urban Research and funded by the Ford Foundation, the PSC has launched the Sustainable Communities Indicator Catalog described in this article.IntroductionPublic and private decisionmakers in the 21st century are fashioning development policies and programs in response to a variety of global concerns that include climate change, resource depletion, economic downturns, high levels of poverty, wasteful settlement and urbanization patterns, and a scarcity of adequate, affordable housing and basic services. They assume that human settlement activity has lasting effects on the well-being of individuals and society and understand that development is an ongoing process, a fixed state of harmony (Hardi and Zdan, 1997: 9). In their choices of policies and programs, decisionmakers adhere to the so-called Brundtland Commission's interpretation of development to improve the human condition to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, an idea refined at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 and further at the Rio +20 Conference in 2012. The Future We Want, the outcome document of the 2012 meeting, defined development as working for poverty eradication, changing unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, and promoting inclusive and equitable economic growth (U.N., 2012).Notably, The Future We Need called for the formulation of development goals, targets, and indictors to be applied to all nations (U.N., 2012). This declaration would call for broadening and extending an earlier setup, the soon-to-expire Millennium Development Goals that applied to only the developing countries. Thereafter, the United Nations (U.N.) initiated a 3-year deliberative process to develop a post-2015 development framework of development goals, targets, and indicators to be presented for U.N. General Assembly approval m September 2015. By the early spring of 2015, U.N. member states had made much progress toward agreeing, in principle, to 17 goals with associated targets and were deeply involved in determining indicators that the U.N. Statistical Commission agreed to deliver by March 2016.General Background on Sustainable DevelopmentOver the years, much work has been done to strengthen the research, policy, practice, and subsequent evaluation of development. Many believe that progress has been sluggish, however, and attribute the slow adoption of the paradigm to political resistance, limited financial resources, and such technical issues as the absence of scientifically valid and credible indicator systems (Evans and Steven, 2011; UNCTAD, 2011).Experts agree that sustainable development is perhaps the most challenging policy concept ever developed (Hak, Moldan, and Dahl, 2007: 2), noting that it receives support generally when characterized broadly as not cheating your kids (Bell and Morse, 2010: 5) but less agreement when it comes to putting it into operation with a working definition. …" @default.
