With growing urbanisation trends, cities are facing numerous challenges and are the most vulnerable to climate change. In order to promote sustainable cities and communities it is important to adopt a holistic and integrated approach. The Urban Nexus, which is a relatively recent concept, is an approach to sustainability that seeks to integrate sectors and silos in the design and development process. This paper will look at cities which have already adopted this approach and show the benefits of adopting such an approach. It will then assess the weaknesses of the planning framework in Mauritius and show how these can be overcome by implementing an Urban Nexus. This will help in building more resilient and sustainable cities in Mauritius.
