| description | The attempt to conciliate nature protection and its use is
considered as a challenge to sustainability in the current
context. There are different criteria and concepts to be applied
so the environmental challenge becomes an opportunity rather
than a factor generating unsustainability within cities. In order
to achieve the ideals of urban sustainability, social and
environmental concerns must be conjugated, based on
integrated policies. Furthermore, it must be considered that
due to the multiplicity of the involved agents, social issues
such as health, employment and housing cannot be set aside.
The question that is placed than is if it is possible to speak in
terms of sustainable cities, or if sustainability surpasses the
boundaries of cities, whose social and space relations already
have exceeded the municipal scale. |
