sustainable city

A sustainable city is a city:
- capable of sustaining itself in time, of keeping an identity, a collective sense, and dynamism in the long term,
- that offers a quality of life in all respects (in connection with functional, social and cultural diversity),
- that stimulates collective participation in urban projects (urban planning, Agenda 21).

This definition of the sustainable city is proposed by Cyria Emelianoff (Comment définir une ville durable)
