Sustainable Settlement Issues

Synopsis: Large urban cities consume large amounts of resources and create vast amounts of waste that needs to be dealt with. For decades little or no concern was paid to this vital issue, but now there is a much greater emphasis being paid to urban sustainability. What is sustainability though and how can cities become more sustainable given that they are already thriving centres? This programme examines ways in which policy makers and business introduce strategies that make a city run more efficiently, use fewer non-renewable resources and reduce their carbon footprint.
