    Green cities are defined as environmentally friendly cities that aim to improve air, water, and land quality. They are designed with environmental considerations and aim to minimize pollution and waste. Rapid urbanization has led to environmental and social costs like pollution, contaminated rivers, and inequality. Green cities offer opportunities to improve liveability, sustainability, and economic productivity through strategies like effective public transportation, energy efficiency, green spaces, and waste reduction. Implementing green city policies faces challenges from issues like rapid urban growth overwhelming infrastructure, different impacts based on wealth levels, and increased global environmental impacts as cities consume more resources.

    Some of the key takeaways from the document are that green cities are defined as being environmentally friendly and minimize pollution, waste and carbon emissions. The document also discusses the need for green cities due to challenges like pollution, traffic and inadequate infrastructure faced by growing cities.

    Some definitions of a green city mentioned are ones that are environmentally friendly, make the environment healthier through improved air, water and land, and are designed with consideration for the environment and minimizing waste and pollution.

    Some issues and challenges discussed are rapid urban growth overwhelming infrastructure, negative environmental impacts that vary by a city's wealth level, and as cities become more prosperous their global environmental impacts increase due to more consumption and production.

    CITY

    DEFINITION OF GREEN CITIES


    United Nation : Green cities are defined as those that are
    environmentally
    friendly.
    Indicators
    measuring
    environmental performance can include: levels of
    pollution and carbon emission, energy and water
    consumption, water quality, energy mix, waste volumes
    and recycling rates, green-space ratios, primary forests,
    and agricultural land loss (Meadows 1999, Brugman
    1999).
    ADB : Way of making the environment healthier and
    more liveable through improvement of air, water and
    land.
    Saripah (2013) : A green city is a city designed with the
    consideration of an environmental place inhabited by
    people, who are dedicated to the minimization of waste
    output and pollution, amongst other things.

    THE NEED OF GREEN CITY


    Asian cities have provided better economic
    opportunities and higher standards of living for millions
    of people.

    These benefits have often come at very high


    environmental and social costs. Ever-growing numbers
    of residents, inadequate infrastructure, worsening
    traffic, polluted air, contaminated rivers, and rising
    inequalities are just a few of many challenges cities
    must contend with.
    Increasing affluence and growing urban populations are
    likely to further increase resource consumption and
    greenhouse gas emissions, and without dramatic
    changes, cities problems will likely worsenliveability
    will further decline, and economic productivity will
    suffer.

    ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

    Rapid urban growth


    tends to overwhelm
    cities where the
    struggle to develop
    infrastructure,
    mobilise and manage
    resources has
    negative
    consequences for the
    environment.

    Cities of different wealth


    levels impact the
    environment differently.
    Local environmental threats
    are most severe in poorer
    cities and relate to issues
    such as fresh water,
    sewage, health and the
    degradation of the living
    environment.

    Rapidly urbanising areas


    (uncontrolled) leading on to
    urban sprawl of affluent
    populations with lower
    development densities and
    increased dependency on the
    private car and to the
    peripheralisation of the urban
    poor, decreasing their access
    to the city and its workplaces,
    services and infrastructure.

    As cities become
    more prosperous,
    with wider and
    deeper patterns of
    consumption and
    production, their
    environmental
    impacts area
    increasingly felt at
    the global level

    OPPORTUNITIES

    The environmental
    performance of cities is
    dependent on a combination
    of effective green strategies
    and physical structure
    urban form, size, density
    and configuration.

    Cities are incubators of


    innovation due to the close
    interaction of their
    residents and workers who
    benefit from the exchange
    of ideas and opportunities.

    The interrelationship
    of energy systems
    and city fabric can
    lead to particular
    synergies.

    KEY PILLARS GREEN CITY


    DEVELOPMENT

    APPROACH TO GREENING
    CITIES
    1. Focus arterial and secondary road
    network
    2. Public transport infrastructure
    efficient
    3. Use of zero-emission vehicles and
    bicycles

    The substantial
    amount of energy that
    cities consume
    provides a significant
    opportunity for energy
    savings, which can be
    achieved through
    technical innovations.

    Parks and open plazas are


    vital components of such
    designs, since trees
    absorb carbon and sulfur
    emissions, filter dust, cool
    the urban environment,
    produce oxygen, and help
    lower carbon monoxide
    and carbon dioxide levels.

    overcome the problems


    associated
    with industrial waste
    generation is
    to turn the by-products of
    one
    industry into the inputs of
    another

    Incentives for
    constructing energy
    -efficient buildings
    and adopting
    energy
    conservation
    behaviors are
    most effective.
