Contemporary urban dynamics present complex challenges both at the local and global scale, reflecting not only socio-economic issues but also significant environmental impacts. The notion of a 'sustainable city' has been promoted as a way to harmonize urban development with environmental preservation and the quality of life of citizens. However, implementing practices and policies that reinforce this integrated vision of sustainability may encounter barriers of a political, economic, and cultural nature. Considering the city as a complex system that encompasses physical, economic, social, cultural, and environmental aspects, analyze how the interconnection of factors such as land use, mobility, and waste management can influence a city's ability to achieve the status of 'sustainable'.
a.
A sustainable city should adopt integrated policies that consider factors such as land use, mobility, and waste management together, harmonizing them to maximize benefits and minimize negative impacts on the social, economic, and environmental spheres.
b.
The sustainability status of a city is determined exclusively by its economic growth, regardless of policies related to land use, mobility, and waste management.
c.
Waste management is the only factor that influences the sustainability of a city, and there is no need to consider land use or mobility policies to assess its sustainable status.
d.
The sustainability of a city is achieved only when the mobility of its inhabitants is entirely based on motorized individual transport, allowing for efficient urban space usage.
e.
A city can be considered sustainable if it has good waste management, regardless of how land is used and how internal displacements within its territorial limits occur.
