LEZAMA, José Luis y DOMINGUEZ, Judith. Environment and urban sustainability. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.49, pp.153-176. ISSN 2448-7147.
This article gathers the discussion on sustainable development, the urban sustainability and the processes addressed to form an inclusive city. The urban sustainability is a process that implies structural changes in the institutions and in the values and social behavior guidelines. The construction of sustainable cities is directed to the conformation of livable, safe, just, of socialization places that preserve their cultural and environmental characteristics and allow the development of the human being, without compromising the environment of future generations. It must provide elements to create a more equitable, egalitarian and democratic access to the natural richness or socially generated, as well as to generate by the institutional, educational and moral ways, a mentality and a social sensibility to think of nature as a value in itself.
