Sustainable Development for Cities and Citizens: Green Housing, Employment and Transport
This chapter focuses on three key urban management initiatives by which smart growth and climate change adaptation are mobilized towards the production of a sustainable urban environment. Significant headway has been made and opportunities for further progress revealed in building energy retrofits, green workforce development and transport-oriented development. In their identification as local priorities, such urban management initiatives have proven a new resource for sustainable development. While such initiatives are encouraging and indicative of the opportunities that sustainable urban development provides, the authors also contend that cities must prioritize the needs of their low-income population as part of their green strategies and programs.
