A Green City is an urban area that prioritizes sustainability

this ppt is made by shrikrishna kesharwani , final year student of manit Bhopal, in this ppt I have given information about the sustainable metropolitan development scheme in detail.

Architecture plays a crucial role in sustainable urban development through practices like green infrastructure, renewable energy generation, urban agriculture, sustainable transportation, and culturally sensitive public spaces. Some specific approaches architects can take include creating green roofs, bioswales, solar panels, urban farms, bike lanes, and accessible community spaces. Implementing these architectural measures around principles of reducing waste, reusing resources, and promoting active transportation can help cities develop sustainably now and for future generations.

Sustainable living are methods and lifestyle choices aimed at reducing one's environmental impact to ensure the long-term health of the planet and its resources. These practices encompass various aspects of daily life, from energy consumption to waste management.

The document discusses strategic principles of infrastructure focusing on eco-efficiency. It defines eco-efficiency as maximizing the sustainable use of renewable resources and increasing product or service value for customer satisfaction. Specifically, it recommends maximizing the use of renewable resources like solar power and biomass to reduce pressure on finite resources. It also suggests focusing on product durability through robust designs and materials to decrease waste and resource use from frequent replacements. Finally, it recommends maximizing the service intensity of goods and services through shared use, multifunctionality, and easy upgrading to create more customer value while reducing environmental impacts.

The Cook County Sustainability Advisory Council recommends that Cook County commit to reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 from 2010 levels. Building energy accounts for two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions in Cook County, so the Council recommends focusing on reducing emissions from County building energy use by 80% by 2050. The Council also recommends reducing emissions from transportation, waste, water, and other sectors like refrigerants and information technology. Establishing sustainability targets and reporting annually on progress will help ensure accountability.

The document outlines project ideas for the City of Surrey's sustainability initiative focused on 8 themes: inclusion, public safety, ecosystems, health & wellness, infrastructure, education & culture, economic prosperity & livelihoods, and built environment & neighborhoods. For each theme, it provides 2-3 example project ideas and references initiatives in other cities/countries that could serve as models. The overall goal is for Surrey to become a thriving, green, and inclusive city by the year 2058 through initiatives organized around these 8 community themes.

The document discusses green economy and sustainable development. It defines a green economy as one that reduces pollution and carbon emissions through investments in clean energy and resource efficiency. The goals of a green economy are shared prosperity and societal resilience through economic, social and environmental pillars of inclusive growth. Key areas of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, clean transportation, land and water management, and waste reduction through recycling and reuse. Transitioning to a green economy can help achieve the goals of sustainable development.
