Sustainable development is significant in a world characterized by escalating pollution, diminishing resources, and declining environmental health. Beginning as an international discourse, sustainable development has become a policy concern of local governments. The practice of sustainable development at the local level emphasizes urban sustainability, an important issue in a rapidly urbanizing world. As sustainable urban development gains momentum around the world, there arises a need to analyze, quantify, and qualify the results of such a program. While indicator sets can clearly illustrate the inputs and outcomes of a plan, they are often unable to measure the holistic nature of sustainable development. A systemic and holistic process, a successful sustainable development program must be planned from a holistic perspective and lead to holistic results. This thesis establishes identifies the interrelations of the individual components that contribute to urban environmental sustainability through an analysis of a case study of Chicago, Illinois.
