Applying distributive justice to planning

Article Abstract:

A detailed structure plan produced by planners in Bedfordshire, England, is the county's first step towards achieving sustainable development. The publication of the Bedfordshire Structure Plan 2011 Deposit Draft illustrates that sustainable development can only be attained effectively if policies, such as transport, waste recycling, transport and other environmental concerns, are taken into account. The plan, which proposes that 45,000 new houses should be built in the county by 2011, emphasises the ongoing need for energy efficiency.
