Question

Definition and concept of sustainable regional development

Answer 1

Answer:

Sustainable regional development is the application of sustainable development at a regional, rather than local, national or global level.

It differs to regional development per se, as the latter is a term used more generally to describe economic development that emphasises the alleviation of regional disparities.

Answer 2

Sustainable development is the kind development activities that meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This kind of development is expected to be undertaken without stripping the natural world of resources that the future generations would need.
