Abstract
The current direction of human society is unsustainable, if we continue on our
current path it will inevitably lead to civilization's collapse. In order to avoid this
collapse a drastic change needs to be made in how humans interact with each other and the planet, the method to this change is sustainable development. In leading this change
Millennials will need to play a vital role in the implementation of sustainable
development as this catastrophe will be taking place in their lifetime. I have placed the
focus on urban sustainable development because that is where the majority of the
population resides and where future growth will be. I have found that this shift to
sustainable development is about changing society's focus from accumulating capital to
meeting human need, and that with technology, optimism, and collaboration Millennials
are up to the task.
