“…In order to facilitate an improved understanding on the state of, or changes to, urban settlements in relation to better sustainability performance, different sets of frameworks, indicators, and assessment tools have been developed [80,81]. A broad range of urban sustainability indicators has also been in use across different cities and regions, varying in accordance with their particular needs and goals [82,83].…”

In a time of rapid climate change and environmental degradation, planning and building an ecologically sustainable environment have become imperative. In particular, urban settlements, as a densely populated built environment, are the center of attention. This study aims to build a clear and concise synthesis of sustainable urban development not only to serve as an essential reference for decision and policy makers, but also encourage more strategically organized sustainability efforts. The extensive similarities between environmental planning and a policy-making/decision-making/problem-solving process will be carefully examined to confirm the fundamental need to build a synthesis. Major global urban sustainability rankings/standards will be presented, discussed, and integrated to produce a holistic synthesis with ten themes and three dimensions. The study will assemble disparate information across time, space, and disciplines to guide and to facilitate sustainable urban development in which both environmental concerns and human wellbeing are addressed.

“…As such, strategic planning focuses on defining priority issues from the long-term perspective [9]. Since it is concerned with benefits and impacts for the community on the large scale, strategic planning seeks for performance as the outcome of the process, and searches for a cross-sector approach from different spatial, economic and social policies to tackle various aspects of development in an integrated way [10]. Additionally, Vedung [11] argues that choosing a unique combination of several policy instruments is one of the most difficult and yet essential issues in the strategic political planning and conceptualizes policy instruments as regulations, economic means, and information.…”

Nodes and Networks: The Generative Role of Cultural Heritage for Urban Revival in Kikinda

et al. 2019

Using heritage as a cultural artifact in city development is not new, but little has been explored about how urban heritage can be utilized as new generative value and a new planning instrument for the revival of cities. The purpose of this paper is to show the creative and the generative use of urban heritage, both for the extension of cultural and tourist offer of the city and for the improvement of the quality of life in physical, social and economic terms for the community. The case study method was used for the adaptive reuse of projects for heritage buildings and urban revival in Kikinda. We argue that urban heritage has to be used, bearing in mind its spatial, economic and social sustainability aspects, and become a generator of urban revival. We go beyond recognition of the value of heritage as a cultural artifact that should solely be preserved and used as a static element in urban development, and view it more as a dynamic asset for city revival processes. We found that for the heritage nodes to be utilized as the new generative value for the revival of cities, they have to be perceived from the network perspective, thus influencing the urban environment in a sustainable way.

“…It would seem that that sustainable urban development (SUD) has become a common goal shared by both developed and developing countries alike (May et al, 2000). Therefore, a number of international organizations and authorities have sought to highlight the importance of urban sustainability (Briassoulis, 2001;Davidson, 1996).…”

The global pace of urbanisation is increasing rapidly. Nevertheless, without considering the pillars of sustainability, such rapid urbanisation might be a negative force for development. The goal of urban development is sustainability, ensuring that a state of ongoing development. Malaysia is dedicated to supporting and implementing the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The aim of this study is to explore the integration of the sustainable urban development pillars-social development, economic development and environmental protection-with respect to the current Malaysian plan. This study employs a qualitative approach, using content analysis to evaluate the 11th Malaysian Plan (MP11) against the themes and subthemes and indicators of the City Prosperity Index (CPI). The CPI is a powerful tool for measuring city sustainability, helping countries and cities to identify, quantify, evaluate, monitor and report on progress made toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11) and one compliance with the New Urban Agenda (NUA).
