Building self-sufficient and sustainable cities : a new vision for community-centred urban development - Vol.89(12), Dec - Mumbai The Indian Institute of Architects 2024 - 43-47p.
The Importance of Sustainable Urban Development
As we move into the “urban century”, more and more
people are referring to cities as “smart”, “resilient”,
“sustainable”, and “green.”
Innovative solutions are needed to address urban
problems like traffic, pollution, lack of green spaces,
energy inefficiency, and subpar housing. With the
development of information and communication
technologies (ICTs), the idea of the “smart city,”
which was first centred on digital connection, has
changed to enhance infrastructure and urban
services. Presently, smart cities prioritise social,
economic, and environmental sustainability,
promoting long-term advantages including improved
quality of life and resource conservation.
