Developing Sustainable and Safer Cities is what every country in the world is looking forward to.

Sustainable development is possible with social and structured economic transformation (i.e. development) which optimizes the economic and societal benefits available in the present, without jeopardizing the likely potential for similar benefits in future. An integrated and holistic approach to urban development encompassing social, environmental and economic dimensions is required to deal with the challenges.

Sustainable and Safer cities are possible only through urban good governance, appropriate urban management, and planning. Sustainable and integrated urban development brings in the crucial linkages between cities and their environment, at local, metropolitan, regional, national and global levels. Keeping this linkage in mind and sharing of best practices, All India Institute of Local self Government is organizing a two day International Conference on “Local Governments for Sustainable & Safe Cities” to be held from 7^th to 9^th September 2009 at Panjim, Goa.
