Abstract

This introductory chapter sketches out the challenges inherent in attempts to create or maintain a liveable urban world. Particular attention is given to climatological and environmental issues in modern cities (e.g. circular cities, carbon–neutral cities). In this context the notion of ‘smart cities’ is highlighted as an anchor point for achieving urban well-being as part of the New Urban Agenda.
