 Environmental Planning and Management (EPM)
|
 |
|
 SCP’s Environmental Planning and Management approach promotes a city management process that is built on the following premises:
- Sustainable cities are fundamental to social and economic development; they are engines of growth.
- Environmental degradation adversely affects economic efficiency and social equity, and hence obstructs the development contribution of cities.
Environmental degradation is not inevitable; what is required is a proactive management approach built on an understanding of the complex interactions between development and environment.
The EPM approach allows priority environmental issues in a city to be effectively addressed. It is a process-oriented framework that permits the different stakeholders to negotiate strategies and seek solutions collectively to common priority issues.
