We need to make our cities and communities sustainable
Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
There are a few key reasons why we need to create sustainable cities and communities, such as those effecting living conditions, access to public transport, availability of public spaces, the effects of pollution and waste and coping with natural disasters.
When we make our cities sustainable, we create better lives and a healthier environment. Together, we can build urban spaces that are not just places to live but communities that thrive.
