THE CONTEMPORARY CITY AND THE CHALLENGES OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

CONTEMPORARY CITY

Cities are probably the most complex things that human beings have ever created. They are the wellsprings of culture, technology, wealth and power. People have a love-hate relationship with cities. We are torn between

our needs for community and privacy and the conflicting

attractions of urban and rural life.

The city is not a problem, it is a solution. Jamie Learner

in mind the future needs of the society, so as not to exhaust the resources. It should not disturb the ecological cycle and hence preserve the environment.
