Suchá, Michaela ; Jeníček, Vladimír (advisor) ; Abrhám, Josef (referee)
The topic of the thesis is sustainable development, specifically sustainable development of urban systems. It is a very topical theme, the cities are currently home to more than half of the population of the entire planet and mostly cities contribute to the environmental pollution deterioration, the distortion of the ecological balance of our planet and cause serious global problems. The work consists of four chapters. The first three chapters constitute the theoretical basis for the last practical part. The first chapter introduces the concept of sustainable development in general, its history, definitions, issues and indicators of sustainable development principles. In the second and third chapter I analyze the sustainable urban development. On the basis of theoretical knowledges, chapters create the hypothesis according to which should be set up two different concepts of sustainable urban development considering differences between the cities of developed and developing countries. The final chapter analyzes the strategies of selected cities, Mexico and Freiburg, how to achieve sustainable urban development with respect to different methods of developing and developed country.
