Abstract
Traditional efforts to improve the quality of life in our communities have, at times, had detrimental effects on both the environment and the very issues the investments were designed to address. Sustainable development decisions must take into account-in social, economic and environmental terms-the long-term impacts of planning and investment decisions. In this chapter we argue that advances in computation techniques and network infrastructure enable the next generation of planning support systems to support such an accounting. We describe our experiences and lessons learned from application of the LEAM planning support system and a Web-based GeoPortal in helping to sustain critical green infrastructure resources in the state of Illinois.
