Abstract
The purpose of this study is to improve understanding about the process aspects of sustainable community planning. After making a distinction between substance and process in planning, the study evaluates the selection of process tools for sustainable community planning, their different roles, and implementation impacts. Further knowledge of process tools is needed because they convey the unique longitudinal context of planning and visioning for sustainable communities. The contribution to practice lies in increasing planners' awareness regarding process tools in sustainability plans and the need to promote these tools. Overall, the implementation of regulation, evaluation, and education process tools in the Florida Demonstration Project was successful. Process aspects received considerable attention throughout the Project's five years. Discretionary implementation and regional planning were two major weaknesses of the Florida case. Civic engagement, public acceptance, and individual learning were noted as crucial forces in planning and implementing longer-range sustainability.
