The Impact of Recycling Urban Space in Sustainable Development in Developing Countries

The urban management in metropolises in many developing countries is non-participatory and centralized. In particular, the relationship between the city council, mayor and the citizens is not efficient. To correct the situation requires a transformation of fundamental urban management mechanisms, which faces challenges in management, human resources, financing as well as legal challenges.[7]. In developing countries sustainable cities are valuable. In order to create this sustainability, we have to think more about different aspects of recycling in cities. One of these aspects is space recycling. In urban development, it is vital to recycle urban spaces to decrease environmental pollution and protect limited resources. Because of limited and destructible capabilities of soil and biological identity of human in relation with his surroundings. Therefore, in order to have sustainable urban development, especially in developing countries, we have to reexamine the style of establishment and maintenance of spaces in developing cities. Following above-mentioned issues, one of the most suitable solutions is space recycling in developing cities. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B. V.
