Abstract

This study connects resilience and sustainability through comprehensive planning. We argue that communities with a comprehensive plan which promotes sustainable development exhibit resilience. We analyze 46 township plans in Central Ohio, in the Midwestern Region of the United States, to examine plan sustainability. The findings show that the township plans do not provide balanced support of sustainability principles and so are not adequately prepared to withstand and adapt to exogenous shocks.
