  • Abstract:
    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
