> OBJECTIVES
> =============================================================
>
> The Sustainable City 2006 follows three very successful meetings held in
> Rio (2000); Spain (2002) and Siena (2004). The conferences attracted a
> large number of contributions from participants from different
> backgrounds and countries. The variety of backgrounds and experiences is
> one of the main reasons behind the success of the series.
>
> The conference aims to address the many inter-related aspects of the
> urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and
> crime prevention. It is hoped that the meeting will build on the
> contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed
> to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities
> and their solutions.
>
> Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the
> consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste
> and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social
> and economic imbalances. All these problems, that continue to grow in
> our society, require the development of new solutions.
>
> As defined at The Sustainable City Conference in Rio (2000):
> "The concept of sustainability as applied to a city is the ability of
> the urban area and its region to continue to function at levels of
> quality of life desired by the community, without restricting the
> options available to the present and future generations and without
> causing adverse impacts inside and outside the urban boundary".
