Cities at the climate crossroads: Can growth be sustainable?
Universitat Autonoma de BarcelonaPeer-Reviewed Publication
Can cities continue to grow without destroying the planet? A new study from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain, offers insight into this complex issue. While there is no general answer to the question of whether sustainable urban growth is possible, as it depends on local physical conditions and development levels, what is clear is that continued urban growth is not desirable everywhere. More sustainability will require rigorous planning, effective governance, and a critical reassessment of dominant development narratives.
