Cities and sustainable urban planning in transition

Sustainable development is advancing through cities that contribute to reducing pollution and energy consumes, managing efficiently energy uses, and behave as drivers of urban sustainability by rethinking an approach to redesigning urban planning. Cities are transitioning towards urban sustainability, meeting the needs of communities without compromising the wealth of future generations. Cities are playing a leading role in advancing towards urban sustainability, designing and implementing urban planning that has a positive impact for urban and natural ecosystems, and enabling citizens as responsible consumers and agents of social change. The future of sustainable urban development relies on cities redesigning urban planning, making healthy and efficient energy-led urban spaces, encouraging behaviours and actions for clean energy production, zero waste and emissions' reduction, promoting responsible consumption.
