Sustainable Housing Growth and Integration

Housing, by way of example, is recognised as a key driver of physical, economic and social change in both urban and rural areas. In furthering sustainable development it is important to manage housing growth in a sustainable way, placing particular emphasis on the importance of the inter-relationship between the location of local housing, jobs, facilities and services, and infrastructure. It is similarly important to successfully integrate transport and land use generally in order to improve connectivity and promote more sustainable patterns of transport and travel.
