Description
Summary:The paper briefly treats the salient points of the World Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. As for previous occasions regarding United Nations conferences, the objectives, highlighted and described in this work are aimed at promoting an integrated approach to the planning and construction of cities and urban settlements, promoting development and sustainable management policies and therefore respecting quality of life and work. However, aspects considered to be negative have also arisen in relation to difficulties regarding common recommendations for developing countries, as well as a lack of benefits from green economy for the same developing countries whose aims for production and profitability are principally targeted at fast economic growth.
