  <abstract>This book begins by introducing the conceptual and contextual dimensions of sustainability and sustainable development. The authors then propose a sustainable human settlement model and elaborates on the methodology for its formulation, development and application. This model is used to assess and forecast the sustainability of urban communities by analyzing changes in the availability of open spaces and water, and variations in the rate of waste generation. It concludes with suggestions for further research.</abstract>
