What is sustainable development?

"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
— from the World Commission on Environment and Development’s
(the Brundtland Commission) report Our Common Future 
(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987).

Siemens' image illustrates the challenges and solutions for sustainable city development, however, it doesn't stop at technological innovation-- a new eco-conscious culture must be created. Cities must be the instigating force and leader behind the movement for sustainable living.
