"Sustainable development is a term which has long been used by environmentalists to endorse growth and development in a reliable manner, which does little harm to the environment. Enabling the process of urbanisation and industrial with due attention to environmental stability and future growth, sustainable development is integral to the whole process of environmental conservation.
This book, one in the series of books on the environment, brings within its purview the matter of sustainable development and the logistics of population growth and control. It explores the ways in which population control becomes an essential feature of sustainable development, and the modes in which it is implicated within sustainable development implementation."
