Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide: An introduction to sustainable development planning
Adopting a local agenda 21 strategy by the year 2000 means that everyone in local government should be in the business of improving the quality of life for local people. Working with them to meet their environmental, economic and social goals. Working not only with colleagues in the authority and other public service providers, but also with businessess, the voluntary sector and all the stakeholders in the wider community. This is what sustainable development is all about - an integrated approach, thinking about choices.
Stakeholder participation in economic development is generally considered to be a good thing. However, questions remain: Does stakeholder participation live up to the high expectations about it in the literature? How can success be measured? What are suitable criteria and indicators? How do the involved stakeholders themselves judge the outcomes of their involvement? What can be done to improve the performance of stakeholder participation? Which structural factors impede stakeholder participation? This study addresses questions such as these with respect to methodology, case studies, and policy implications. Angela Oels is assistant professor at the Institute of Political Science, University of Hamburg, Germany.
Understanding the challenges in research and practice of participation in the digital era, and the important role of local governance in achieving the sustainable development goals, Singh explores the complex relationship of community participation, social capital and social networks.
Since the UK signed up to the Agenda 21 global charter, successive UK governments have pledged their continuing commitment to the delivery of sustainable development at the community level. What's in a Name? evaluates whether the move towards community strategies enhances or undermines sustainable policy delivery. It reviews case studies from eight authorities, and considers how LA21 was introduced, the initiatives that have resulted, and how these were received by the communities that were targeted. It suggests that, in the interest of realising more sustainable development, these strategies must balance the environmental, economic and social well-being of the areas they serve and outlines the practical lessons of the study.
