Las Vegas is faced with three important challenges: promoting sustainability, quality of life and resilience. Sustainability is the ability of Las Vegas residents to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future residents to do the same. Quality of life (QOL) is the level of satisfaction of those residents needs and personal preferences. Resilience is a measure of how the city responds to disturbance. A strong city needs a high degree of all three.
