Sarbani Bera

Abstract :

The sustainable urban development is a great venture in India. It discusses the concept importance of sustainable development mainly the sustainable urban development. Sustainable urban development and sustainable city form take the responsibility of all this and try to reduce the bad effects of climate change, depletion of non–renewable resources and degradation of the urban environment. There are three issues – which are meeting the deficiencies in service, how to manage the services in an environment friendly way and the need to make them more equitable. For activities locations need to be created which can be reached 1) without moving, by walking, by cycling 2) By public transport and 3) by energy efficient cars. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN–HABITAT, the sustainable cities programme are designed to foster the planning to move cities in the developing countries toward sustainability. They organized different programme for the sustainable urban development. One idea about sustainable urban form is that density needs to be ‘high‘. A density that is suitable for USA or cities of Europe may not be feasible for already dense cities like Hong Kong and Indian cities. All these things about sustainable environment and climate change have resulted in experiments and debates over city form that is sustainable.
