Sustainable development is really
need nowadays not only in Malaysia but also another country. Sustainable development is development that meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability to meet future
needs. To achieve this sustainable development,
many way or method are using and one of this method is City Development
Strategies (CDS).
A City Development Strategy is a
tool that helps a city harness the potential of urbanization. It also enables a
city to develop a coordinated, institutional framework to make the most of
opportunities. And, perhaps most importantly, a CDS gives residents a chance to
have a voice in the future of the place where they live.
The Cities Alliance supports
cities in preparing city development strategies that link their economic growth
and poverty reduction objectives, often including citywide slum upgrading strategies.
Urban poverty is one of the key issues to be solved in achieving sustainable development. This is because poverty will bring
other problems in
the city such as squatters and crime.
So CDS are required in this situation to apply for achieving goal.
For example CDS already use at Douala Cameroon to
reduce poverty in urban area. Poverty in Douala create so many
problems such as squatters, crime, jobless and these three problem are related
each other which means are caused by poverty. People are jobless and they build
squatters and when they don’t have a money the make a crime like robbery or as
a snatchers to their live. So all kind of this thing is not good for future and
for solution CDS are implement as strategic urban planning approach to achieve sustainable
development.
