Urban development management can best be described as the social, cultural, physical and economic development of cities in urban areas. This form of management can pose great benefits to communities. The number of benefits arising from sustainable city building is considerable. Advantages are so widespread that virtually everyone becomes a winner, from business to government and community members.
There are simply no disadvantages to a well-designed and sustainable community. The question can be asked, that why if there are so many benefits all cities aren’t built this way? There are a variety of reasons, but perhaps one of the biggest reasons is the availability of plentiful and inexpensive energy. However, South African metropolitan areas are poised to take advantage of the great benefits that urban development management offers.
What Benefits Do Urban Development Management Offer?
There are many, but let’s take a closer look at some of great advantages these services offer any urban area, including:
- Improved affordability for housing: More densely-built communities feature greater access to townhouses and apartments, which are less expensive and more accessible than detached homes. What’s more, higher density housing also requires lower maintenance costs;
- Less overall hardship for households: Since costs for energy and transportation are less in sustainable urban communities, overall hardships in households are reduced;
- Lower household expenditures: Sustainable urban communities help to reduce financial burden on households. With lower household expenditures, fewer hours of work are required to support the household, leading to a greater quality of living.
