It provides a single-source for the key reference articles on urban design and physical planning of cities, including social, environmental and economic data.
While cities occupy only two percent of the earth’s landmass, they contain 50 percent of world population, consume 75 percent of the world’s resources and produce 75 percent of its waste, The overriding priority of 21st
century planning and urban design will be to support the global agenda for environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic opportunity for all peoples. That challenge, in turn, is inexorably linked to the sustainability of
the world’s cities and urban areas.
