Abstract
The chapter addresses planning of global cities and the applications of sustainable urban planning (SUP) practices. A background on theory and practice of SUP is presented, particularly applicable to municipalities and districts (group of municipalities) undergoing rapid change (focusing on the effects of global transition). The chapter covers definitions and examples of sustainability and ecologically sustainable development (ESD). Reviews and critiques of writers and key documents on the subject of SUP are presented. Recent (1980s–2016) planning schools of thought (i.e., compact cities, new urbanism, smart growth, eco-city planning and SUP) are also commented on. Finally, examples of current worldwide approaches to planning municipalities and districts using SUP practices is canvassed.
