Although there is debate about its precise definition, the concept of sustainability will certainly be a priority for both human and technological development in the future. Broad social trends indicate that people want more control over their lives and will apply pressure through democratic institutions to achieve a more sustainable, reenvironmentalized society. Public works officials will be deeply involved in meeting the demands of this evolution. Many of the new, smaller scale technologies required will initially need to coexist with existing technologies traditionally under the purview of public works departments, placing pressure on practitioners to be both current and flexible. Although there will be some dislocation, the challenge of meeting a sustainable future need not be inconsistent with fundamental public works values.
