The document discusses sustainable development and its principles. Sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Its objectives include environmental protection, economic growth through wise natural resource usage, and social progress. The principles of sustainable cities discussed are pollution reduction, educating citizens on environmental issues, developing eco-friendly buildings, increasing plantation, expanding transport systems, connecting cities to rural areas, and improving infrastructure.

• Sustiainable development is
the transformation and
developing that meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of the
future generation to meet their
own needs (Pani , 2015).

3. OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
• Great concern for the environment
• Protecting the environment
• High economic growth
• Wise usage of natural resources
• Social equity and progress

5. 7 PRINCIPLES TO A BETTER SUSTAINABLE CITY
• Pollution reduction
• Creating citizens that are cautious of their environment and pollution
• Eco-friendly buildings
• Increase of plantation
• Development of large transport systems
• Reconnecting cities with surrounding rural areas
• Create better infrastructure and road networks

7. POLLUTION REDUCTION
• Water and frostery department in South Africa developed a white paper on
integrated pollution and waste management.
• Policy was created to help reduce the pollution , the priority given to the
approach is to prevention (DEAT , 2000).
• Current statistics revil that the local waste disposed by South Africans is
enough to fill an entire football field 10 meters deep On a daily basis , this
means that a person generates 2.5 kilograms of waste per day (Awards ,
2019).

9. CREATING CITIZENS THAT ARE CAUTIOUS OF THEIR
ENVIRONMENT AND POLLUTION
• One main contributor to the degrading of the environment is anthrogenic activities.
• The South African SDGs Country Report (2019) mentions the National Planning
Commission identified improving education , awareness and traning as a focus aim to
achieve sustainable environment.
• Environmental education developed from the concern of human development in
damaging the natural environment , and its primary aim is to influence behavioral
change through education and the promotion of values , attitudes and understanding,
to help in the protection and conservation of the environment (Nervin , 2016).
• Platforms used to educate people , a rally or March, social media , videos and
articles written (Marsh , 2021).

11. ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS
• Mainly referred to as “Green Architecture” , this defines an approach to building
that minimizes thr harmful effects of construction projects on human health and the
environment (Moore , 2021).
• The green building is growing immensely in South Africa , it covers 2 million square
meters and savings in electricity, water consumption and waste disposal at the
buildings have a significant impact on reducing the construction sectors carbon
footprint.
• Saves 76 million kilowatts this is the amount of electricity used by 5300 households,
and it save 115 million kilograms of carbon emissions equalivalent to 28 000 fewer
cars on the road , 124 million liters of water enough to sustain 34 000 households
yearly (International Trade Administration , 2020).

12. ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDINGS

13. INCREASE PLANTATION
• Creating a greener planet is always a fantastic idea. Increasing the number
of trees 🌳 and plantation 🪴 helps restore the degraded ecosystem ls and
provide environmental and economic benefits.
• Having an increase in plantation helps decrease the carbon levels , as trees
especially the timbers are known to be carbon stores.

14. ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE
TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
• Carbon levels increase on a daily basis and this affects our environment.
• Carbon is one of the main greenhouse games, it affects and contribute to
climate changes. One main source of Carbon is vehicles.
• The development of larger transportation systems will help reduce the using
of private cars.

15. EMISSIONS OF GASES

16. RECONNECTING CITIES WITH SURROUNDING
RURAL AREAS
• Rural area play an important role in the developing of cities and urban areas.
• Connecting rural areas and urban areas allow for development to occur.
• This brings about social and economic benefits to the different societies.
• Having mixed cities allows for integration amongst people of different classes
, levels and incomes therefore growth is bound to occur.

17. CREATE BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROAD
NETWORKS
• For a city to be established it needs to have the best advanved infrastructure
and the building of road networks.
• Having advanced infrastructure and road network, makes it easier to
navigate to places and simpler. There will be several routes available for
transporting and also sustaining , developing the environment.
