Urbanization, Poverty and Environment in the 21st Century

The New Global Frontier

“The challenges of sustainability are often presented as requiring technical or political innovation. This is undeniably true, but, without a basis in social values regarding what constitutes wellbeing, no lasting solution will be possible. It is by no means clear that such change will be forthcoming, although the sustainability literature abounds with encouraging examples. In the case at hand, people must come to see that the wellbeing they seek in outlying green spaces may be found within urban morphologies that preserve this green space."
