Urban Sustainability and Environment

Urban sustainability and environment in the context of urban political geography refer to how cities manage resources and spaces to meet current needs without compromising future generations. This involves creating healthy, equitable, and resilient urban areas by balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. Political decisions shape land use, transportation, and infrastructure development, influencing how cities adapt to challenges like climate change, pollution, and social inequality. Effective urban sustainability seeks to engage communities in planning and policy-making, ensuring diverse voices contribute to building more livable, sustainable cities for everyone.
