Developing Countries, sustainability, goal, substantial investmentAbstract
Developing countries face a pressing challenge in achieving sustainability as their urban areas rapidly expand and modernize. Central to this challenge is the need for substantial investment in critical infrastructure, particularly in public transport and renewable energy. Sustainable cities are characterized by efficient transportation systems that reduce reliance on private cars, as well as the adoption of renewable energy sources that mitigate environmental impacts. However, cities in developing countries often struggle to make these transitions due to limited financial resources and outdated infrastructure. The result is a growing trend of unsustainable development, marked by congestion, pollution, and energy inefficiency.
