Summary:This paper describes how the city of Panjim (capital of Goa, in India) and its wider region could meet the multiple goals that sustainable development requires – combining high quality living conditions, a successful economy, and sustainable levels of resource use and waste generation. It outlines the methodologies used and describes the changes needed in the use and management of water and land, infrastructure, buildings and transport systems, and in the governance framework needed to underpin such changes. It uses the term “RUrban” to highlight how this requires a sustainable integration of rural and urban communities, where rural living standards come to match those in urban areas and where cities become net producers of ecological services rather than relying on regional and global resources and waste sinks.
