Sustainable Development
Captions available
The idea
Sustainable development is growth that meets present needs without depleting resources future populations will need, urgent for rapidly urbanizing regions.
In practice
A growing city expanding housing while protecting its water supply and green space pursues sustainable development rather than growth that exhausts resources.
Where people slip
Sustainable development names a goal balancing growth against resource limits; it specifies no single policy every region must adopt.
