OBJECTIVES
# central role of education and learning in the pursuit of SD
STRATEGIES
DESD requires
# consultation# partnership and networks
IMPLEMENTATION
the values,diversity,knowledge,associated withculture in specificnational context
Market
Globalization
Global players (TNCs) will profit by G., local enterprises will be threatened to be fossilized if they stay apart
Globalizationconsequences and strategies

vanishing frontiers
valuesfaced with the threatof being plundered
GlobalizationGlobalizationand strategies
Globalization versus values, extremely loaded with tension
Frontiers increase - in order to find identity althoughglobalization should have caused vice versa.

Both countries are facing nearly the same issues

globally
EDUCATION
These challengesdemand a new thinking, where the dimensionsECONOMY,ENVIRONMENT,SOCIETY are looked atsimultaneously andworked up to decision-making structuresso that the individual and the group make up theirminds responsibly.

PRINCIPLES/ GOALS
SUSTAINABILITYMega Cities
Mega-Cities (Growing Cities): Structural change of economic sectors towards services, cities as centers of services will grow but followed by further crises. In order to cope with these issues additional resources must be allocated - due to inborn genetic deficiencies of mega – cities.

ECONOMY SOCIETY ENVIRONMENTThe inner city will lose residents, thereforeincrease of offices vs. decrease of housing. Suburbs will grow - more noise and air pollution caused by urban traffic since there will be more commuters.

Political imperative: City planning for a Sustainable Future Objectives: A livable and sustainable city; Mixture of housing (30%) and services (70%). A balance of job and residence. Knowledge Industry could be partly moved into the vicinity.Appropriate measures should be taken to avoidurban sprawl and/or the doughnutphenomenon

Stressful living conditions cause migrationtowards suburbs. City Planning should be re-evaluated. The CBD should be more than business. Recreational areas (parks) and public squares for social communication should be added. Raises identification with the city and supports well- being.
