Sustainable cities in developing countries
Sustainable cities in developing countries are explored in relation to a complex web of linked issues at the macro, meso and micro level. The eco-system is but one of many considerations. This paper presents an overview of sustainable human settlements. Social equity and quality of life are placed within the context of defining factors including public policy, regulation and performance, finance, technological development and obsolescence, cultural heritage and tradition, management and operational activities, agricultural and land policies as well as redefining professional roles and education. The linkages between the defining factors must be better understood and radically rethought, integrated and managed if cities are to be made sustainable. La construction de villes viables dans des pays en voie de developpement est exploree en relation avec un reseau complexe de questions de niveaux macroscopique, microscopique et intermediaire reliees entre elles. L'ecosysteme n'est qu'un des nombreux points consideres. Cet expose presente un apercu d'etablissements humains viables. L'equite sociale et la qualite de vie sont places dans le contexte de facteurs determinants, tels que interet public, reglementation et performances, financement, developpement et obsolescence technologiques, heritage culturel et tradition, gestion et activites d'exploitation, politique agricole et d'occupation des sols, redefinition des roles professionnels et education. Les liaisons entre les facteurs determinants doivent etre mieux discernees, puis radicalement repensees, integrees et gerees, afin de rendre les villes viables.
