Eco-Towns

Introduction

Eco-towns are referred to as a proposed program of new towns in England. A particular kind of eco-town needs to be developed in which the formal principles of ecology are incorporated with the conduct of local government (Lan & Yang, 2004). Since 1991, the EU has sought to strengthen its action in favor of environmental protection. Its environmental policy has been reoriented to promote the objectives of eco-development and the foundation of policy and measures for the urban environment has been consolidated into Community law. The Maastricht Treaty Sustainable development is a key objective of this policy and claims explicit integration of environmental protection into other policies the EU. The Fifth Action Programme for the Environment, which sets the intervention plan green for the period from 1993 to 2000, will tackle the root problems rather than the symptoms. It was advocated that the pooling and sharing of environmental responsibilities instead of a "down" approach. European cities can develop approaches to urban management by tapping into experience and achievements that accumulate internationally. At the Summit Planet Earth, which was held in June 1992, the European Community and its Member States signed the conventions on climate change and biodiversity; they also endorsed the Agenda 21, the global response plan for development sustainable in which local authorities have a crucial role to play (Fujita, Wong & Kurihara, 2004). A consensus international projects and Agenda 21 on the mechanisms and measures that will promote eco-development in cities In addition, national policy frameworks encourage more interventions for sustainable development at local level. However, national strategies for Sustainability do not necessarily have a confirmed urban dimension as well, politics Urban Member States which do not always have a continuing objectives specific sustainability. It is therefore appropriate to adopt a set of explicit principles help set goals and evaluates and monitors progress in for sustainability in urban territory. 

Discussion

The Standard of Urban Management

The realization of sustainable development can only be done if the program of developing a sustainable environment can work effectively. Neither “Market forces” nor other cataleptic and undirected events are able to solve the severe tribulations associated with unsustainable growth. Agenda 21 defines a complete process based on comprehensive consideration of a wide range of issues on explicit decisions about priorities and the creation of supervisory structures, incentives and long-term motivation that go along with the adoption of specific targets for achieving the stated objectives. A range of tools are required by sustainable urban management that address the concerns ecological, social and economic to provide the necessary foundation for the integrated approach In this toolbox, some deal separately ecological, social and economic aspects of management, while others try to combine. Five major forms of tools are recommended that are environmental, namely cooperation and partnership, political integration, information management, trade mechanisms, and measurement and monitoring. Each means is well thought-out as a part of a system urban eco-management integrated. The application or a combination of these tools do not obey no prescription, and the paths to sustainability are multiple. The context institutional and physical varies between Member States and localities; ...
