Green City

Green cities are those where economic growth and


development is fostering, that reduce negative environmental
externalities, the impact on natural resources and the
pressure on ecosystem services.

These cities have significant synergies between


environmental and economic objectives.

A clean or effective production and consumption of facilities


related to movement of people and goods, waste
management and recycling, pollution prevention, treatment,
energy, abatement, design, construction, maintenance,
resource extraction, agriculture, natural resource management
and other environmental services, are the prime component of
a green city.
Green City
•A city which gives its focus on the environment.

•A city with minimum emissions.

•A city with almost no pollution to the air, soil, water.

•It is a sustainable city with a healthy livable environment, a


strong economy and cultural sense of community.
VARIOUS MEANS TO MAKE A CITY GREEN:

•Focus on the environment by planting more of trees, use of water


elements, and increase in the open green spaces.

•Use of the renewable energy as wind turbines, solar panels bio-


gas, etc.

•Use of public transport systems by the public, and reduce green-


house gases emissions.

•Making the city cores as the exclusively for the pedestrian.

•Increased use of the bicycles and battery operated vehicles in the


neighborhoods and the residential zones.

•Zero- energy buildings.

•Having urban forest in the cities.


GREEN CITY - VANCOUVER
•Vancouver is the most densely
populated city in Canada.

•Urban planning in Vancouver is


characterized by high-rise
residential and mixed-use
development in urban centres, as
an alternative to sprawl.

•As part of the larger Metro


Vancouver region, it is influenced
by the policy direction of livability Stanley Park is a 405-hectare (1,001-acre)

GREEN CITY - VANCOUVER

•As of 2010, Vancouver has


been ranked as having the
fourth-highest quality of living of
any city on Earth.

•Vancouver has also been


ranked among Canada's most
expensive cities in which to live.

•Vancouver is also ranked as the


tenth-cleanest city in the world.
GREEN CITY - VANCOUVER

•Vancouver's characteristic approach to urban planning originated in the


late 1950s, when city planners began to encourage the building of high-
rise residential towers in Vancouver's West End, subject to strict
requirements for setbacks and open space to protect sight lines and
preserve green space.

•The success of these dense but liveable neighbourhoods led to the


redevelopment of urban industrial sites, such as North False Creek and
Coal Harbour, beginning in the mid-1980s.

•The result is a compact urban core that has gained international


recognition for its "high amenity and 'livable' development".

•In 2006, the city launched a planning initiative entitled Eco- Density, with
the stated goal of exploring ways in which "density, design, and land use
can contribute to environmental sustainability, affordability, and livability".
Compact City
Compact City- Sky City , China

Sky City 838-metre-tall planned skyscraperin the city of Changsha, Hunan in


south-central China.
 
The prospective builders, Broad Sustainable Building, estimated it would take just
90 days to construct.

Pre-construction activities were halted in August 2013 after government


regulators required additional approvals.

On June 8, 2016 the project had been dropped due to protests over
environmental damage to the Daze Lake wetland.

The Daze Lake wetland is now listed as one of the 20 waters to be permanently
protected and will follow non-construction zone policies. It is a pristine wetland
hailed as the last wetland in Changsha where many rare bird species take habitat.
Shelter of these birds would be largely disrupted by the building of this tower.
Compact City- Sky City , China
According to the plan, the building's 202 stories
will have a hotel accommodating 1000 guests, a
hospital, 5 schools, and offices.
Of the total space available, nearly 83% will be
for residential purposes, housing up to 17,000
people.
Another 5% will be for the hotel housing 1000,
while 3% each will be dedicated to schools,
hospitals, offices and shops.
There will be 10 fire escape routes, which will
evacuate a given floor within 15 minutes; the
building will be fire-resistant for up to three
hours.
It will also have 17 helipads. Sport facilities will
include six basketball courts and 10 tennis
courts.
Plans include preserving some green space
around the building.
Compact City- Sky City , China

For transportation there will be 104 high-speed


elevators installed.

The safety of these potential elevators has been


questioned because they take several minutes
to get from bottom to top.

The 5000 residential properties will be able to


accommodate 17,400 residents.

The proposed building will have total floor space


of 1.2 million m2 (13 million sq ft). The main
building will have 1.05 million m2 (11 million sq
ft) of this area, with a basement of
130,000 m2 (1,400,000 sq ft) and a 3 to 7 floor-
high annex of 35,000 m2(380,000 sq ft).
Compact City- Sky City , China

The 4-layered glass used for the building's


windows will keep the temperature of the
building constant between 20 to 27 °C (68 to
81 °F).

The air indoors will be filtered to be up to 20


times cleaner than the air outside.

The lamps used in the building will be made


of LEDs.

The builders have claimed to be working with


some of the same architects who designed
the Burj Khalifa, such as Adrian Smith.
What is the meaning of smart city?

A smart city is a designation given


to a city that incorporates
information and communication
technologies (ICT) to enhance the
quality and performance of urban
services such as energy,
transportation and utilities in order
to reduce resource consumption,
wastage and overall costs.
SMART CITY
Smart Cities Mission, sometimes referred to as Smart City
Mission, is an urban renewal and retrofitting program by
the Government of India with the mission to develop 100 cities
across the country making them citizen friendly and
sustainable.

The Union Ministry of Urban Development is responsible for


implementing the mission in collaboration with the state
governments of the respective cities.

100 Smart Cities Mission" was launched by Prime


Minister Narendra Modi on 25 June 2016.

A total of 98,000 crore (US$14 billion) has been approved by


the Indian Cabinet for the development of 100 smart cities and
the rejuvenation of 500 others.
The objective of the Smart Cities Mission is to promote cities
that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of
life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and
application of ‘Smart’ Solutions.

The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and


the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable
model which will act like a light house to other aspiring cities.

The Smart Cities Mission of the Government is a bold, new


initiative.

It is meant to set examples that can be replicated both within


and outside the Smart City, catalyzing the creation of similar
Smart Cities in various regions and parts of the country. 
Accordingly, the purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic
growth and improve the quality of life of people by enabling local area
development and harnessing technology, especially technology that
leads to Smart outcomes.

Area-based development will transform existing areas (retrofit and


redevelop), including slums, into better planned ones, thereby improving
livability of the whole City.

New areas (Greenfield) will be developed around cities in order to


accommodate the expanding population in urban areas.

Application of Smart Solutions will enable cities to use technology,


information and data to improve infrastructure and services.

Comprehensive development in this way will improve quality of life,


create employment and enhance incomes for all, especially the poor and
the disadvantaged, leading to inclusive Cities.
Smart City- Malta
SmartCity is a technology park under development in Malta.

The project was unveiled on 10 September 2007 by then Prime Minister of


Malta, Lawrence Gonzi.

The whole development, which covers an area of 360,000 square metres, was
planned to be fully completed in 2021, although the first offices opened in 2010.

First European project (350,000m2 of new build) by Dubai developers


SmartCity.

The project aimed to transform a low-value coastal employment site, located


close to the capital Valletta, into a state of the art information and
communication technology hub, serving the southern Mediterranean and North
African market.

Design response was the creation of a new town centre within an attractive
landscape setting with mixed-use activities, including residential, which would
become a focal point for the south of Malta, capturing the atmosphere and
character of the island, created widespread opportunities for nearby settlements
and adopted clear sustainability criteria.
Each students will identify four green
cities, compact cities , and smart cities,
(two Indian and two International) and
submit a study of its features in report
format by next class.
