Abstract

Sustainable development, particularly the word sustainable has been overused and misused to the extent that its true meaning is no longer thought of especially in the field of land development. There are intrinsic conflicts between the notions surrounding the development of land and sustainability which is heightened by society and its values. These are the fundaments for the knowledge gap existing between uniting true sustainability with that of land development that is accustomed modern society in terms of definition and notion, let alone a model. This has led to three objectives of this research project which include; (1) Scrutinization of how development of land since the Industrial Age has conferred to our notions of sustainability; (2) Exploring possible synergies and tradeoffs between land development and sustainable development; (3) Identifying the possible ways and implications of the change towards a sustainable society. A strong methodology evolved around an integrated conceptual frame work is used which involves multi-scale perspectives in aiming to achieve comprehensive insight on this complex issue. Significant outcomes are expected which are not already prevalent in literature, principally, exploration of synergies and tradeoffs between sustainable development and land development that can be exploited and handled to put forward the ideals of true sustainable land development.
