Abstract
Opportunities to improve the sustainability of policy and development in California is possible through better integration of urban planning and environmental assessment. A comparative analysis of environmental planning practices in Pakistan, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and California is given. The author recommends that a stronger and more sustainable regional approach in California may be obtained by integrating environmental factors earlier in the planning and development entitlement processes.
