Chapter III Towards sustainable cities - United Nations
Chapter III. Towards sustainable cities Summary yy Numerous challenges threaten the ability of cities to become viable pillars of sustain- able development. Unequal access to, and inefficient use of, public services, as well as financial fragility and the harm inflicted by natural hazards, demand an integrated and coordinated response at the local, national and international levels. yy The predominance of small- and medium-sized cities provides an opportunity to invest in green infrastructures, bypassing old energy technologies, and in social deve lopment, before social inequities become unsustainable. yy Rural development is critical for an integrated approach to sustainability and for reducing poverty. Ensuring wider and inclusive access to public services can reduce rural/urban inequalities, disaster risk and food insecurity, as well as strengthen net- works between cities and villages.
Towards sustainable cities ... as well as a policy framework for a sustainable financing of cities. ... not from agriculture or forestry (Satterthwaite, 2010).
