AB  - The primary objective of urban policy is to strengthen the capacity of cities to develop in such a way as to create an efficient, compact, sustainable and coherent structure, and thus to be strong and competitive. The potential associated with reducing urban flows, combined with effective management and use of natural resources, depends on sustainable development, but also on factors such as: compactness of form, morphology and urban structure of settlement units, among which cities become a space with great potential for saving natural resources, e.g. energy.
