The goal was to figure out how to make rural communities sustainable for the future. Many experts have been studying sustainability in various fields, like social, economic, and environmental areas. They suggest that all these aspects are important for a sustainable future. However, it's tough for policymakers to apply these ideas to real communities. People use the term "sustainability" a lot, but there's disagreement on how to achieve it, like whether cities should be more crowded or spread out. Some urban design concepts aim for sustainability by drawing from the past but may not consider more modern ideas of progress. Despite some new ideas from Europe, the road to sustainable development is still unclear and being debated.
