TASK 3
Question
Listen to Lecture 14 and 15 at https://www.udemy.com/sustainable-urban-development/
You are given a task by the mayor of your hometown to evaluate and give suggestion on how
to plan the town in accordance with Local Agenda 21. Write a brief report on your evaluation
and suggestion.
Answer :
Local Agenda 21 is a local-government-led, community-wide, and participatory effort to
establish a comprehensive action strategy for environmental protection, economic prosperity
and community well-being in the local jurisdiction or area. This requires the integration of
planning and action across economic, social and environmental spheres. Key elements are
full community participation, assessment of current conditions, target setting for achieving
specific goals, monitoring and reporting.
There are six key elements of a Local Agenda 21:
Integrating sustainable development aims into the local authority's policies and
activities
Partnerships
Evaluation
The various roles that are expected of these local authorities to attain a
liveable city with a high quality of living had put pressure on those authorities
to acquire a strong organisation. The pressure is left more intensely by small
and medium sized local authorities that lack finance, manpower, skills and
equipment in providing the expected services.
Suggestion
The challenges that been facing require the respective parties be more focused
in undertaking each and every responsibility in urban development.
2. Integrating sustainable development aims into the local authority's policies and
activities
Elevation
The large number of private vehicle ownership puts pressure on the capacity
of the existing road network. The inefficient public transportation resulted in
the tendency for the urban population to optimize for private vehicles instead
of the public transport. In the long term, this will have negative impact on the
competitiveness and the attraction of those cities to draw local and foreign
investors.
Suggestion
Good access to high quality public, social and cultural facilities will
contribute a great deal to the improvement of the quality of life of the
resident. The government can provide good governance by recruiting the
participation of residents in the improvement of their living environment.
This element has been implemented through the area. They may
included residents/tenants associations, youth club, senior citizen
group, sports club, activity/hobby societies, environment/ conservation
organization.
