To be considered ‘sustainable’, urban plans should have all of the following five principles/elements, as
demonstrated through evidence-based and innovative methodology (including data innovations like
spatial analytics, GIS and Big Data):

1) compactness: avoiding urban sprawl;
2) connectivity: places and locations to demonstrate high connectivity;

3) integration: mixed urban land use;
4) social inclusiveness; and

5) resilience to climate change.

Optimizing urban planning: It is recommended that Bizerte designates a percentage of its city area as
a pedestrian/car-free zone. Creating more pedestrian zones will also provide more places for citizens
to engage in and create a sense of community. Bizerte should keep in mind community outcomes and
their land use planning during the design of such zones.
