description Conflict or harmony between economic, ecologic and social sustainability are two opposing perspectives that have appeared in the current debate about sustainable development. The aim of this studyis to investigate how the relations between these sustainability aspects are established in a concrete school practice. The present study is a case study and investigates two classes of Swedish upper secondary students presenting a three-weeks thematic assignment concerning sustainable urban planning.The empirical material consists of field notes, audio-recordings, video-recordings and students’texts. In order to analyse the students’ meanings about sustainable development a method inspired from pragmatic discourse analysis is used. The findings show how the students in their language usage constitute a harmony perspective on sustainable development. The results and implications for teaching and learning are finally discussed.
