Developing Spatial Urban Planning Guidance for Achieving Sustainable Urban Development

by Habib M. Alshuwaikhat

Sustainable urban planning guides are being developed to direct spatial urban planning both at the local and regional levels towards sustainability. However, due to the multifaceted nature of spatial planning, different guides do focus on different aspects of planning and tend to overlook or lay little emphasis on other aspects. The goal of achieving sustainability through spatial urban planning requires that integrated sustainable planning guidance which will incorporate all aspects should be developed. This paper discusses a general framework of sustainable spatial urban planning. It highlights the need for better urban planning guidance and proposes general guidelines in view of current international practices. These guidelines are very pertinent at this time when frequent calls are made from different international, national and local levels to ensure sustainability in urban development.
