Summary:

"Sustainability is a complex concept as it has two opposite faces. It may be positive or may be negative sustainability. Sustainability of poverty, illness, diseases, terrorist, drug addiction, human trafficking, global warming, colonization, slavery, and many other kinds of harmful matters to the safety, happiness and prosperity of communities and people. People think only of the positive way of sustainability, which leads to development, and security of mankind. The United Nations, through UNDP identified seventeen positive Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are purposely bringing the life of communities to the betterment and shiny future. This book is structured to discuss some of the developers' and researchers' efforts and compile their findings to provide useful data, information, strategies, and materials that help in understanding some of the positive sustainability. The book is split into ten chapters, each chapter discusses a separate sustainability topic. The book consists of ten chapters. Three chapters deal with new Urban planning and development, three chapters present state-of-art on solar systems, three chapters are within the topic of human health, one chapter is on advanced 5G communication"-- Provided by publisher.
