THE RELATIONSHIP IS DISCUSSED BETWEEN URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION. IT DESCRIBES THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS, IDENTIFIES SOME EMERGING PRINCIPLES ON WHICH THE PLANNING PROCESS IS BASED, AND DISCUSSES THE IMPLICATIONS THESE PRINCIPLES MAY HAVE FOR RESOURCE CONSERVATION. THE TERM NATURAL RESOURCE BASE IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL ASPECTS OF THE LAND. THE AIR, AND THE WATER THAT MUST BE INCLUDED IN PLANNING FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT IF AN ENVIRONMENT SUITABLE FOR THE WELL BEING OF ALL LIFE IS TO BE CREATED. AS SUCH, IT INCLUDES GEOLOGIC ELEMENTS, SUCH AS WATER AND MINERALS, AND NONGEOLOGIC ELEMENTS, SUCH AS WILDLIFE AND WILD HABITAT. IT ALSO INCLUDES PROCESSES AND CONDITIONS SUCH AS SLOPE STABILITY AND FLOODING, AS WELL AS EXTRACTABLE COMMODITIES, SUCH AS TIMBER AND GRAVEL. /AUTHOR/
