Currently we protect

7\.6% of the ocean and 16.7% of the land

\
Management and enforcement of protection are currently

Land-use planning continued

Must consider:

current/future human population size

biodiversity and ecosystem services

must consider climate change

Climate change

Increased global temperatures, but not uniformly distributed

Lack of urban planning

Lack of planning leads to urban and suburban sprawl

Lack of urban planning continued

Leads to lower quality of life

Urban and suburban sprawl

Reduced quality of life and health problems

Increased air and water pollution

Increased impervious surfaces and temperatures

Decreased biodiversity and natural areas

Economic areas

Sustainable urban design

Compact and centralized (no sprawl)

Walkable and bike friendly

Access to sustainable, high quality, low/no carbon mass transit

Zone for mixed-use neighborhoods: housing, services, green spaces, cultural sites
