Sustainable Development A Reader’s Guide to Selected Sources Updated by: Ayman Saleh Manar Badr October 2007

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina reference librarians have prepared this guide of selected materials on Sustainable Development to assist users in finding primary resources within the library. This guide is not intended to be comprehensive but rather to provide a convenient starting point for research.

Sustainable Development is an approach to economic planning that attempts to foster economic growth while preserving the quality of the environment for future generations. The concept of sustainable development proved difficult to apply in many cases, primarily because the results of long-term sustainability analyses depend on the particular resources focused upon. 1
