Stewardship, planning and public policy
Abstract
The notion of stewardship, often connected with sustainable
development has become a favourite way for planners and
policymakers to characterize an appropriate environmental
ethic. The article traces the origins of the stewardship metaphor
to its roots in Judeo-Christian tradition and contemporary
theology, and suggests that the patriarchal and hierarchical
connotations of stewardship might be of concern to some
planners. Alternative environmental philosophies are described,
and their implications for planning and policy are
sketched. Le concept de gestion responsable (<<stewardship>>) souvent
associé au développement viable, est un facon privilégiée par
les urbanistes et les décisionnaires pour illustrer l'éthique environnementale. L'auteur retrace les origines de la métaphore
de la gestion responsable dans la tradition judéo-chrétienne et
dans la theologie contemporaine. Elle suggère que les connotations
patriarcale et hiérarchique que portent ce concept
pourraient intéresser les urbanistes. Elle décrit d'autres philosophies
environnementales ainsi que leur signification pour
l'urbanisme.
