INTRODUCTION

_____

The Sustainable City 2004 follows two very successful conferences, the
first held in Rio in 2000 and the other in Segovia in 2002. Both
attracted a large number of contributions from many different countries.
The success of this series of conferences is in great part due to the
variety in background and experience of the participants.

The conference aims to address the many inter-related aspects of the
urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and
crime prevention. It is hoped that the meeting will build on the
contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed
to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities
and their solutions.

Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the
consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste
and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social
and economic imbalances. All these problems, that continue to grow in
our society, require the development of new solutions.

As defined at The Sustainable City Conference in Rio (2000), "The
concept of sustainability as applied to a city is the ability of the
urban area and its region to continue to function at levels of quality
of life desired by the community, without restricting the options
available to the present and future generations and without causing
adverse impacts inside and outside the urban boundary".
