Urban Sustainability

Definition of Urban Sustainability as it relates to Environment

Urban sustainability refers to the practice of creating urban environments that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It encompasses a wide range of strategies and initiatives aimed at reducing waste, increasing efficiency, promoting renewable resources, improving air and water quality, enhancing community resilience and livability, and fostering equitable access to resources and opportunities for all urban residents. Urban sustainability is not just about managing environmental impacts, but also about creating vibrant, prosperous and healthy cities that offer a high quality of life for all their inhabitants. It requires a holistic approach that considers the interdependence of economic, social and environmental factors, and recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities presented by urban areas.
