OUR VALUES

There is a strong link between our values and our approach to planning and development. Our values are rooted in Sustainability, People-centred, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

We believe the four dimensions of sustainability, that is economic, social, cultural, and environmental are interrelated and interdependent. These dimensions should be considered equally in sustainability planning and the decision-making process. To us, sustainability requires collective social action. Such social action itself is rooted in people’s shared values and understanding. Collaborative sustainability would create extended social relations between all parts of society at different levels to generate and enhance trust and consensus among them.

PEOPLE-CENTRED APPROACH

At Plan Sustainable, we believe people are the focal point, core value and key component of any planning and development initiatives. Our People-Centred approach to planning Improves people’s participation, builds people’s capacity, and makes people more interested in the city’s policies and projects.

SUSTAINABILITY

Due to rapid urban population growth sustainability will be a central element of any community development. In the next decades, sustainability will be the driving force behind any major urban development in the world. Sustainable cities will be bigger, greener, and smarter. Climate change and advanced technology are the two distinct causes behind this major shift.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY, and INCLUSION

We believe Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are crucial topics for planners to understand and integrate into their practice. We believe this is our responsibility to understand and apply these principles to the planning process and development standards. There’s a unique opportunity to take an active role in EDI through collaborative and people-centred approaches to planning, projects, and outcomes.
