Abstract

"The Brundtland Report uses the term sustainable development, to embrace two differing sets of concerns. In the first sense, the term was a label pasted over a loosely assembled group of ideas that included the concepts of rational development (or wise use) and some elements of eco-development. This assembly of ideas was poorly integrated and failed to deal with the split of opinion between the technological optimists and those who believe in a decentralized model of development based on alternative technologies."
