It focuses on theoretical issues and debates in scientific literature and aims at analyzing the different dimension of sustainability, namely social, ecological and economic sustainability. There are different conflicts between those dimensions of sustainability. Furthermore, there are different theoretical approaches to this topic.

However, there are some models and visions about the sustainable city, which give hope to bridging the gap between the three dimensions of sustainability. (Less)
