This document discusses several concepts related to sustainability and urban planning. It defines ecological footprint as the amount of land and water needed to support a population's consumption and waste production. It also mentions urban poverty in terms of a minimum income level needed for a healthy life. Finally, it discusses the environmental footprint measuring natural resources used and pollution produced, and the concept of spatial concentration describing the density of ethnic groups in a location.
