| Abstract: | Environmental problems have become a worldwide concern for economists, as is witnessed by the development of many theories and policies aimed at driving the economy towards a "sustainable economy". The problem becomes even greater if we discuss cities. As recognized in many studies, a high percentage of the world population lives in cities, where quality of life and environmental concerns undermine all advantages associated with agglomeration economies. The vast experience in terms of theoretical and empirical substance which has been built up around the theme of "sustainable economy" has only partially helped to generate a framework for an "urban sustainable development". |
