The Urban Sustainability And Sustainable Urban Development : Composite Paradigms In The Field Of Urban Geography

Authors : El Azizi El Alaoui Anas .

Abstract

The Urban sustainability is conceived as a new emerging societal and urban paradigm, to be understood as a living object in permanent evolution, an admittedly difficult journey, and not as the culmination of an idealized city. Creating or renovating a neighborhood or a sustainable city today requires new methods in order to deal with the challenges of traditional cities: pollution, degradation of the quality of life, insecurity, waste of resources and time... Sustainable urban development constitutes one of the major means of implementing urban sustainability, within urban planning policies but also other territorial political tools for sustainability such as Agenda 21 and the Territorial Climate and Energy Plan.
