"Sustainable Development" is a term that's been getting a lot of buzz over the past few years. I stumbled on this short video of Peter Head - Director of Sustainability at Arup - where he gives a great summary and overview of what we need to do to 'make cities work'. You will hear Peter talk about sustainable development and using a balanced approach to continue to meet the socio-economic demands of a city while addressing things like CO2 emissions. This is a great primer on sustainable development.

Make sure to check out the other videos linked on this page where he discusses future cities and ecological footprint.
There is also a great interview on CNN.com today where Peter discusses China's first eco-city that Arup is playing a large role in.
