Sustainable Urban Development
Sustainable Urban Development is a holistic approach to city planning and management that seeks to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This framework integrates three key dimensions: environmental responsibility, which involves minimizing ecological footprints, promoting renewable energy, and protecting biodiversity; social equity, which focuses on ensuring access to affordable housing, public services, and inclusive community spaces for all residents; and economic viability, which aims to foster a robust and diverse local economy that provides long-term prosperity. Ultimately, the goal is to create resilient, livable, and just cities that can thrive in the face of environmental, social, and economic challenges.
