Abstract: Abstract Urban areas accommodate a rapidly growing share of the global population. The major problems of current and future societies, therefore, to a large extent need solutions on the urban scene. These problems include poverty, resource consumption and pollution. The concept sustainable development (emanating from the report of the Brundtland commission, WCED (1987)) summarises the joint emphasis on development and sustainability: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. The development goal (standard of living adequate for health and well-being) has to be reconciled with the sustainability goal (“the planetary capital” in terms of natural systems, renewable and non-renewable resources should not be depleted).
