15 connecting to APA Sustaining Places Initiative APA Sustaining Places - Principles for Comprehensive Plans – Topical Areas Livable Built Environment: Ensure that all elements of the built environment — including land use, transporta-tion, housing, energy, and infrastructure — work together to provide sustainable, green places for living, working, and recreation, with a high quality of life. Harmony with Nature: Ensure that the contributions of natural resources to human well-being are explicitly rec-ognized and valued and that maintaining their health is a primary objective. Resilient Economy: Ensure that the community is pre-pared to deal with both positive and negative changes in its economic health and to initiate sustainable urban de-velopment and redevelopment strategies that foster green business growth and build reliance on local assets . Interwoven Equity: Ensure fairness and equity in provid-ing for the housing, services, health, safety, and livelihood needs of all citizens and groups. Healthy Community: Ensure that public health needs are recognized and addressed through provisions for healthy foods, physical activity, access to recreation, health care, environmental justice, and safe neighborhoods. emerging trends in regional planning
