We live in a time in which increased population growth, high levels of consumption and the desire to feed growing economies have created escalating demands on our resources - natural, human and social - on a local, regional, and global scale. These demands negatively impact the natural environment, our communities and the quality of our lives. In the face of these challenges, people worldwide have developed a growing concern for the environment and a desire to live sustainably.

Guiding Principles

The Santa Monica Sustainable City Plan is founded on eight Guiding Principles that provide the basis from which effective and sustainable decisions can be made. These Guiding Principles have been revised and updated from the versions initially adopted in 1994.

The Plan has also been expanded to include eight Goal Areas:
• Resource Conservation
• Environmental and Public Health
• Transportation
• Economic Development
• Open Space and Land Use
• Housing
• Community Education and Civic Participation
• Human Dignity
