Increasing urbanisation is challenging urban waste management across the globe with drastically rising levels of waste creation along with a shortage of space for landfills as cities expand. Urban waste management strategies should, therefore, seek to limit the amount of waste going to landfills by focusing on increasing recycling levels and reducing waste creation.

URBAN SUSTAINABILITY PLANNIGN & MANAGEMENT
Any sustainability plans, including those applied in urban areas, cannot violate the laws of nature if they are to achieve acceptable, long-term outcomes for human populations. Cities have central roles in managing the planet’s resources sustainability (Seitzinger et al., 2012).
Healthy people, healthy biophysical environments, and healthy human-environment interactions are synergistic relationships that underpin the sustainability of cities (Liu et al., 2007).
As networks grow between extended urban regions and within cities, issues of severe economic, political, and class inequalities become central to urban sustainability. Efforts to reduce severe urban disparities in public health, economic prosperity, and citizen engagement allow cities to improve their full potential and become more appealing and inclusive places to live and work (UN, 2016b). Policies and cultural norms that support the outmigration, gentrification, and displacement of certain populations stymie economic and environmental progress and undermine urban sustainability (Fullilove and Wallace, 2011; Powell and Spencer, 2002; Williams, 2014). Long-term policies and institutionalized activities that can promote greater equity can contribute to the future of sustainable cities.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Working with council authorities and communities within urban spheres, we conceive and implement sustainable solutions to urban challenges, in a bid to ensure people, biophysical and human-environmental health.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
We begin with research and consultation, forming user groups to explore the asset’s true purpose and needs.

- Urban Waste Management Systems
- Sustainable Urban Transport Systems
The transportation sector consumes depletable resources: energy, human and ecological habitats, atmospheric carbon loading capacity, and individuals' available time. But solutions that reduce depletion of one of these may exacerbate depletion of another. Transportation decisions tend to be made in the service of larger policy goals: economic growth and job creation, the character and intensity of land use, and socioeconomic and geographic transfers of wealth.
- Potable Water Supplies
One of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the UN includes environmental sustainability. In 2004, only 42% of people in rural areas had access to clean water worldwide. Reduction of waterborne diseases and development of safe water resources is a major public health goal in developing countries..
- Urban Housing
One essential quality in the provision of housing is that it should be socially and environmentally appropriate. The type of accommodation, support services and amenities provided should be appropriate to the needs of the people to be accommodated. The mix of dwelling type, size and tenure should support sound social, environmental and economic sustainability policy objectives for the area and promote the development of appropriately integrated play and recreation spaces.
- Renewable Energies
Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are broadly classified into:thermal,chemical, and biochemical methods. Industrial biomass can be grown from numerous types of plants and a variety of tree species. Biomass, biogas and biofuels are burned to produce heat/power and in doing so harm the environment. Pollutants such as sulphurous oxides (SOx), nitrous oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) are produced from the combustion of biomass; the World Health Organisation estimates that 7 million premature deaths are caused each year by air pollution. Biomass combustion is a major contributor.
Renewable energy production from some sources such as wind and solar is more variable and more geographically spread than technology based on fossil fuels and nuclear. While integrating it into the wider energy system is feasible, it does lead to some additional challenges. In order for the energy system to remain stable, a set of measurements can be taken. Implementation of energy storage, using a wide variety of renewable energy technologies.
