Planning Sustainable Cities reviews recent urban planning practices and approaches, discusses constraints and conflicts therein, and identifies innovative approaches that are more responsive to current challenges of urbanization. It notes that traditional approaches to urban planning (particularly in developing countries) have largely failed to promote equitable, efficient and sustainable human settlements and to address twenty-first century challenges, including rapid urbanization, shrinking cities and ageing, climate change and related disasters, urban sprawl and unplanned peri-urbanization, as well as urbanization of poverty and informality. It concludes that new approaches to planning can only be meaningful, and have a greater chance of succeeding, if they effectively address all of these challenges, are participatory and inclusive, as well as linked to contextual socio-political processes.

|
| Urban Planning in developing countries is till practiced in an authoritarian style with obsolete laws, unskilled staff, lack of plans, regulations and ordinances, hence poor development control. Cities are allowed to develop not in public interest but in a chaotic and selfish manner. This call for change of attitude to promote public interest and suatainable development. |

| There is a need for enhanced support especially capacity related in developing countries cities if any meaningful achievemements are to be realised.Planning should be guided by strong laws and shielded from ignorant politicians and other non professionals. |

| Urban planning especially in fluid geopolitical contexts such as countries in post conflict recovery, can benefit from early and systematized adoption of sustainable approaches as proposed in this book. |

| 1. Mainstreaming previous marginal and neglected paradigms and issues, and formalise all informal looks discussions into main UN-GLOBAL-INTERNATIONAL discourse on habitat, excellent!!
2. Brings new hopes for total reform on city and regional planning including its old paradigms,
3. Answer many questions on discussion with old-fashion planners... break the cognitive constraints so far... again, excellent! |
