Throughout the 1990s, urban planning has still not been satisfactorily achieved. There are conflicts between the “green agenda” , the “brown agenda” and the “red agenda”.The most important environmental issue now is climate change, which will affect the basic elements of life for people around the world. The poorest countries are most vulnerable to it. The second major environmental concern is oil depletion. It is predicted that peak oil will be reached in 2010, meaning an equivalent form of energy will take its place. The impact on cities, urban life, and the economy will be profound.At the same time, the current nature and scale of urbanisation and city growth are also causing many impacts of central concern to planning. Cities cause negative environmental impacts through consumption of natural assets and modify the environment and generate new hazards. Poorer and more vulnerable groups will suffer more.Therefore, the environmental and natural resources are challenging urban planning. People begin to more appreciate the interrelationships between natural resources and human impacts and understand the impact of cities on climate and resources globally.From the 1070s, new urban forms were promoted which responded to environmental concerns. More recentdevelopments of these ideas have explored how they can be guided by spatial planning focusing on city-wide infrastructure.The New Urbanism approach is a reflection of many of the spatial principles of the compact city and the sustainable approaches at local scales.More recently, addressing climate changes has become the most important environmental issue. It is expected that urban planning can be a mechanism for changing urban impacts.Many local measures are voluntary and not yet implemented. The main planning innovations are probably still to come.。
