Positive Development


Preface
Nature has provided for the infrastructure and basic services to support human life, and has even 
subsidized our profligate Western lifestyles. Now, however, we have exceeded the Earth’s carrying 
capacity. We have also exhausted the cultural and social viability of many resource-rich, but 
impoverished countries and colonies around the world. This unilateral relationship between humans 
and nature must be reversed. Fortunately, urban design and architecture could undo much of the 
damage of past policies, actions and developments. However, genuine sustainability will require 
more than social change and ecological ‘restoration’.
It will require increasing the total amount of 
ecosystem goods and services, as well as increasing the health and resilience of the natural environment.
This book contends that the built environment can create the infrastructure, conditions and space for 
nature to continue its life-support services and self-maintenance functions. Development can provide 
greater life quality, health, amenity, conviviality and safety for all – without sacrificing resources, 
money or comfort. For it to do so, however, we need a new approach to the planning, design and 
management of our built environment. What we will call ‘Positive Development’ would actually 
expand the ‘ecological base’, meaning ecosystem goods and services, natural capital, biodiversity and 
habitats, ecological health and resilience, and bio-security. It would also expand the ‘public estate’, 
meaning the substantive democracy that ultimately depends on equitable access to, and expansion 
of, the ecological base – the means of survival.
Our current methods for addressing sustainability challenges are shaped by institutional and 
intellectual frameworks that reflect negative, defensive attitudes towards the environment. Negative 
impacts are seen as inevitable, so we only aim to slow the pace of environmental destruction. The 
belief that we have no option but to ‘trade off’ nature for social and economic gain is deeply engrained.
We assume the best that sustainable development can do is provide (short-term) 
social
benefits 
that compensate for long-term 
ecological
losses. Traditionally, policymakers and environmental 
managers have thought they were dealing with sustainable development issues by merely monitoring, 
measuring, managing and mitigating the predicted negative impacts of future plans, policies and 
designs. However, creating environments that are socially and ecologically productive requires 
breaking out of our mental cubicles and undoing what has already been done. Towards that end, 
this book provides: 

New paradigms and design concepts that enable us to 
expand
future options, increase
resource security, increase human and ecological health, and improve life quality for all.
• 
New design criteria, review processes, assessment tools and design methods that shift from 
narrow ‘input–output thinking’ to design that 
supports
natural systems and communities.
• 
New approaches to analysis, assessment and management systems that move from mitigating 
negative impacts to multiplying 
positive
ecological and social synergies.
• 
New approaches to futures planning methods, strategies and incentives that do not just 
prepare for a grim future, but increase the means of survival and 
meaningful
life choices.
A critique of ‘best practice’ planning, design and management systems forms the basis for new 
methods and processes to facilitate design and innovation for net Positive Development. We will 
call this 
positive
approach ‘SmartMode’ (short for Systems Mapping And Re-design Thinking Mode).
It is intended to reverse negative attitudes towards the natural and built environment, and provide an 
analytic framework to help us reverse the impacts of 
past
development by design. SmartMode aims 
to help us leapfrog the intellectual and institutional barriers that are entrenched in the foundations 


of urban and regional planning, natural resource management, and even ‘green’ urban design and 
building. It challenges vestiges of negative thinking in green design criteria, standards, benchmarks, 
rating tools, reporting systems, planning strategies and design methods. Alternatives to each of 
these are suggested to help de-couple environmental impacts from economic growth, but also to 
add value
to the public estate (at a net economic gain). This may, however, only be possible through 
community-based initiatives, to which industry and government must contribute, but which they 
must not control. The suggestions are collated in the last section to provide a generic framework to 
guide more positive forms of community planning, design and decision-making.
