A Guide to Sustainable Development

As the world's population continues to grow, cities are becoming increasingly dense. This is putting a strain on natural resources, and it is also making it more difficult to create livable and sustainable communities. Suburban cities are particularly vulnerable to these challenges, as they often have a high population density but lack the infrastructure and amenities of urban areas.
