24. Structure of Government
|
188 "...new forms of municipal finance are
needed to meet the future needs of urban
economic development and the costs of
supporting infrastructure and services."
(Habitat II) | ||||||||
25. Services
|
(a) Promote metropolitan-wide and/or
regional planning, development and
management strategies that address all
aspects of urban activities in an integrated
manner and that are based on agreed
outcomes for the metropolitan areas.
(same as above) | ||||||||
19. Planning and zoning
|
105. Increasingly, cities have a network of
linkages that extends far beyond their
boundaries. Sustainable urban development
requires consideration of the carrying
capacity of the entire ecosystem supporting
such development, including the prevention
and migration of adverse environmental
impacts occurring outside urban areas.
76. (g) Make full use of existing infrastructure in urban areas, encouraging optimal density of the occupation of available serviced land in accordance with its carrying capacity, at the same time ensuring the adequate provision of parks, play areas, common spaces and facilities, and plots of land for home gardening, as appropriate. (Habitat II) | ||||||||
16. Downtowns
|
76. To ensure an adequate supply of
serviceable land, Governments at the
appropriate levels and in accordance with their
legal framework should:
(g) Make full use of existing infrastructure in urban areas, encouraging optimal density of the occupation of available serviced land in accordance with its carrying capacity, at the same time ensuring the adequate provision of parks, play areas, common spaces and facilities, and plots of land for home gardening, as appropriate. (Habitat II) | ||||||||
3. Preservation of natural resources
|
7.18 "...sound urban management is essential
to ensure that urban sprawl does not expand
resource degradation over an even wider land
area and increase pressures to convert open
space and agricultural/buffer lands for
development."
(Agenda 21) | ||||||||
7. Waste Management
|
8.18 Governments and legislators, with the
support, where appropriate, of competent
international organizations, should establish
judicial and administrative procedures for
legal redress and remedy of actions affecting
environment and development that may be
unlawful or infringe on the rights under the
law, and should provide access to individuals,
groups and organizations with a recognized
legal interest.
(Agenda 21) | ||||||||
12. Transportation Systems
|
(b) 149. Managing transport in human
settlements should be done in a way that
promotes good access for all to places of
work, social interaction and leisure facilities,
important economic activities, including
obtaining food and other necessities of life.
This should be done while reducing the
negative effects of transport on the
environment. Transport system priorities
should be given to reducing unnecessary
travel through appropriate land-use and
communication policies, developing transport
policies that emphasize mobility alternatives
other than the automobile, developing
alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles,
improving the environmental performance of
existing modes of transport, and adopting
appropriate pricing and other policies and
regulations.
