This book presents a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of urban environment management, focusing on the planning, governance, and operational strategies required to address environmental challenges in rapidly growing cities. It explores how environmental planning principles are integrated into urban systems to improve sustainability, resilience, and quality of life. The book analyses the management of urban resources, energy use, and transport systems, highlighting approaches that reduce environmental impact while supporting economic and social needs.

The discussion further examines ecological considerations within urban settings, including water management, pollution control, and conservation-oriented planning. Attention is given to institutional capacity building, research, and communication as essential components of effective environmental management. The book also considers urban housing, infrastructure planning, and cost-efficient mobility as interconnected elements of sustainable city development. By addressing both strategic planning and practical implementation, it offers a balanced understanding of how cities respond to environmental stress, climate-related risks, and degradation. This work is intended for students, urban planners, environmental professionals, policymakers, and researchers seeking an internationally relevant and academically grounded perspective on managing urban environments in an era of accelerated urbanisation.
