Urban Planning and Sustainable Development

First, the book introduces important concepts of urban planning and sustainable development. It examines how cities can manage growth while addressing environmental, economic, and social needs. Furthermore, the discussion highlights the importance of balanced planning for creating resilient and inclusive urban environments.

Modern urban planning requires careful consideration of land use, infrastructure, mobility, housing, environmental protection, and public services.
