Sustainable Development Strategies in Urban Planning

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the strategy of sustainable development in urban planning has become increasingly important. There have been several non-environmental-friendly issues emerging in urban areas. For example, the construction industry is one of the key economic development activities in Thailand. An increase of the construction sector also contributed to the increasing of environmental pollution. This is a typical environmental issue among industrial areas of the urban. To resolve these kinds of issues, people should prioritize developing sustainable cities. This includes implementing green building standards, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting renewable energy sources. Sustainable city planning also involves preserving natural habitats, promoting biodiversity, and reducing carbon emissions through initiatives like public transportation systems and bike-friendly infrastructure. This paper analyzes the concept of sustainable development and its application in urban planning. By exploring the sustainable development strategy in urban planning, people can promote the balanced development of economy, society, and environment, and realize the long-term sustainable development goal of cities.
