Abstract

Nowadays cities and society have become close elements that interact and depend on each other on a daily basis.The current trend is for people to move more to live in cities and in this way, such global challenges as overcrowding and urbanization are gaining significance.Such problems as urbanization, population growth, rural depopulation, resource depletion, air, water and soil pollution characterise the damage which modern society has done to the planet's environmental dimension.These issues need to be tackled and the situation needs to be improved to ensure sustainable development, which will ensure the possibility of future generations fulfilling their needs.One of the most significant problems in urban environment and its development processes is the poor efficiency of using the resources.This research is aimed at identifying sustainable development strategy options in urban environment.The authors have used the literature review methodology.The results show that there is an increasing number of cities which are being developed with active support and participation of local communities.Renewable energy, new technologies and smart solutions are being increasingly used in daily urban life.The key dimensions of sustainable development are environmental, economic and social.Thus, in the context of sustainable development, people need to plan their urban development in such a way that their needs are met while making mindful use of the available natural, financial and human resources and reducing their environmental impact.According to the new paradigm of sustainable development, general economic and social development is established, primarily considering environmental aspects.The authors of the paper have provided proposals for sustainable development strategy options in urban environment.
