Anwar Hussain, Sharmin Khan

Abstract :

Urbanization can be a synonym of modernization. In the fast pace of life with the event of industrialization, the transportation system developed giving rise to the process of movement of people from rural areas to urban areas. In the run of changing lifestyle and becoming modern, people started moving towards cities. Cities which were not planned to take the extra load could not bear this and hence dilapidation started.. The problem now aims to find out the sustainable solution for the urban population. This paper deals with the process of finding ways and means of making things sustainable by 3-fold methodology. These can be categorized as: sustainable planning, sustainable energy systems and sustainable material selection. The decisive factors can be quoted as socio-economic, climatic, geological conditions etc.
