This chapter argues that careful planning is the key to sustainability. It emphasises that the goal of successful planning is the constructive alignment of context, activities and execution, and that failure to pay heed to the specific political, economic, social, educational and technological context in building organisational structures and course delivery, student support and quality assurance systems may result in a failure to thrive.

... Added to this tension between specialist and generalist actors -which, it should be remembered, is often deliberately engineered into governance systems as a 'check and balance' on the potential for radical action -are the political realities of the difficulty in convincing sceptical electorates that their actions are part of the problem, let alone deserving of the efforts of government to change them. Some commentators argue that the most significant problem is the sheer length of planning cycle for significant transport investments -the 'carrots' of new public transport infrastructure, improved walking and cycling opportunities and so on -that are required to entice individuals to make their transport habits and practices towards more sustainable (Banister et al., 2007;Banister, 2004Banister, , 2003Cullingworth, 1997). But although this may be true, perhaps more important is the fact that there is very little appetite to apply anything that might be considered as a 'stick', both because of the perceived political risks of such actions, but also because even the most radical politicians are faced with a bureaucracy that urges (extreme) caution whenever substantial moves away from established arrangements are proposed (Horton, 2006;Pierre, 2000;Rhodes, 1996). ...

... The notion is hard to pin down, as sustainable development '… is generally seen as a "good thing." Like democracy, no two people understand it in the same way, but few would argue against it' (Batty 2001: 19, see also Cullingworth 1996). ...

... In this context, a mechanism met with enthusiasm was the publicprivate partnership (PPP)-the participation of private enterprises in financing, building, and/or operating transport infrastructures of public interest. Cullingworth [4] found private financing to be particularly beneficial when public expenditure is unlikely or impossible to obtain, as long as resources are intelligently allotted. This is a subject matter that should have stirred up considerable debate. ...
