Key characteristics of sustainable communities typically include the use of renewable resources, efficient public transportation systems, green building practices, access to local agriculture, and a focus on community engagement and inclusiveness. They aim to create resilient environments that support healthy living, foster social interaction, and provide equitable access to resources and services.
The concept emphasizes balancing human activities with the natural environment, ensuring present needs are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
