"As cities are now the dominant human habitat, they must be a healthy human habitat. They must be planned, developed, and managed in healthy and sustainable ways—ways that minimize their ecological footprints and maximize health and well-being for their residents. It is important to ensure that the needs of current generations are not being met at the expense of future generations, and to avoid constraining future options. We need to prepare for an uncertain future—there will be shocks and surprises. This requires our environments to be resilient and readily adaptable in the face of change."
