ABSTRACT
By nature, humans are social creatures and thrive in urban spaces that
foster social connections. Cities are essential to sustainable
development since they are the center of economic development.
They interact extensively with surrounding and with the rest of the
world. The sustainable city concept focuses on improving the
conditions of the urban areas in order to create healthy, pleasant,
livable, inclusive, safe, and resilient cities where residents want to
live and work. This chapter provides an introduction on sustainable
cities.
