Urban Neighbourhood Development (UND) focuses on construction and development within or near larger towns and cities. UND include construction of various types of buildings (residential, commercial, institutional, etc.) and their supporting infrastructure and public utilities (such as energy and power systems, water and wastewater systems, road and transit systems, etc.). High volumes of energy and raw materials are required to construct, operate, and maintain urban neighborhoods and communities. During these operations, urban neighborhoods releases high amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, generates waste, and occupies land. Municipal planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation occurs in the context of increased public concern regarding the sustainability of our urban settlements. UND oriented toward the principles of sustainable development is often said to be both the socially responsible course of action, and an economically wise choice.

城市邻里发展(UND)侧重于较大城镇或城市内部或附近的建设和发展。包括建造各种类型的建筑物(住宅、商业、机构等)及其配套基础设施和公用事业(如能源和电力系统、供水和废水系统、道路和交通系统等)。建设、运营和维护城市社区和社区需要大量的能源和原材料。在这些行动中，城市社区排放大量温室气体(GHG)，产生废物，并占用土地。缓解和适应气候变化的市政规划是在公众日益关注我们城市住区的可持续性的背景下进行的。以可持续发展原则为导向的可持续发展经常被认为是对社会负责的行动方针，也是经济上明智的选择。
