We need to move the 'Environment' to the TOP of the list as this provides our basic human needs - water, air, food etc. The economy etc should be strategised within the confines of the environment not the other way round - go back to Brundtlands 'sustainable' definition to meet the needs of the present WITHOUT harming the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Don't just 'provide' for active travel or passive homes but prioritise these to make them a natural preferred choice for people - eg with local facilities not having to drive to supermarkets
