Organisational Impact

The urban design and development has achieved a peak point as the cities are developing at enormous rates, however, this growth puts a high level of strain on the urban planners and developers, and their focus is usually limited onto the development of the specific part of the urban environment, whereby other influencing factors are diminished or even ignored, thus creating the problem of sustainability of these urban blocks as they become the part of the larger urban environment. The mobility gets largely affected with the urban development and the immediate influx of settlers with their own habits and approach to transport and urban living creates a problem for sustaining the growth of the urban centers.

The approach where the construction of one residential area is the source of funds for the next residential areas becomes widespread and the stall in further development creates sometimes reverberating impact on the financial sustainability of the cities, affecting their development and livability. Organizations and institutions involved in urban planning and development will greatly benefit from having their people knowledgeable about the issues related to the sustainability of urban development as they would be able to avid shocks of the market and regain or preserve sustainable growth.

Personal Impact

The urban planning is the art of managing a process concerned with the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks, and the people who can provide the solutions that will avoid the pitfalls of pollution, high maintenance costs, traffic congestion, and financial sustainability are the ones who will be in the high demand, therefore learning the techniques of sustainable urban development will not only enhance the knowledge of the students but also provide the strong basis for their carrier development.
