18. WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT ?
Sustainable rural development
involves a holistic approach where
daily basic needs of rural populations
must be covered by reliable public
utilities combined with technical,
socioeconomic, and environmental
conditions to support regional
economies and urban-rural linkages.
Sustainable urban development is the way
forward for cities to mitigate climate
change. Integrated urban places designed
to bring people, activities, buildings, and
public spaces together, with easy walking
and cycling connection between them and
near-excellent transit service to the rest of
the city.
