Description: Planning is an inherently political activity. It is valueladen. However, as Campbell (1996) noted, there is nothing inherent in the discipline that steers planners either toward environmental protection, economic development or social equity. Where do the values reside? They are embodied in roads and dwellings, grounded in plans and policies, living in institutional and corporate cultures, but first and foremost, they reside in planners. This current article is needed because debates in Australia on important issues such as sustainability, planning and urban form have been restricted due to a limited framework for the debate (i.e. urban consolidation), the misrepresentation of other authors’ positions and the absence of information about these authors (Troy 1996). In response, this paper compares and contrasts the work of four leading theorists of sustainability, urban form and planning.
