Sustainability Plan / Introduction / Statement by Mayor Willie Brown

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
SAN FRANCISCO

WILLIE LEWIS BROWN

October, 1996

Fellow San Franciscans:

This new Sustainability Plan will be a landmark for San Francisco’s future.

All of us have the responsibility to improve our community’s quality of life and ensure a beautiful, healthy and prosperous city for the generations that follow. To achieve this goal, planning must take a three-fold approach, addressing economic development, community revitalization and our relationship with the environment. This Plan provides a critical foundation upon which sustainable development can occur.

The Economic, Health and Youth summits demonstrated the importance of bringing the community together to establish a common vision for the future. This community process has extended to the Sustainabilty Plan for San Francisco. It unites our goals and our actions for a better future.

I urge you to join me and the new Department of the Environment in promoting the idea and the reality of sustainability for San Francisco.

Sincerely,

WILLIE L. BROWN, JR.
Mayor
