| Abstract
|
:
|
Urban governance and sustainability are rapidly becoming key issues around the world. Currently three billion people - half the population of the planet - live in cities and by 2050 a full two-thirds of the world's population will be housed in ever larger and increasingly densely populated urban areas. The economic social and environmental challenges posed by urbanization on such a large scale and at such a rapid pace are staggering for local regional and national governments working towards sustainability. Solutions to the myriad problems plaguing the quest for sustainability at the city-leve.
