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）着重于较大城镇和城市内或附近的建筑和发展。 UND包括建造各种类型的建筑物（住宅，商业，机构等）及其支持基础设施以及公共公用事业（例如能源和电力系统，水和废水系统，道路和过境系统等）。建造，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，城市社区释放了大量的温室气体（GHG）排放，产生浪费并占据土地。在公众对我们城市定居点的可持续性的关注的背景下发生了缓解气候变化和适应的市政计划。人们通常认为对可持续发展的原则的定向既是对社会负责的行动方案，又是经济上的选择。
