Ethics in Urban Sustainable Development: Through the Lenses of the Earth Charter
‘Under the pressure of the current global situation, cities have the ability to make the necessary innovations and improvements. Cities can lead us to new prosperity. In order to achieve this, we must recognize the urgency to change our ways and be prepared to make better choices. It is necessary that we deploy a robust set of social, cultural, ecological and economic values by using the Earth Charter Initiative as our guidance.’ – Earth Charter Cities Manifesto
