1. Symposium ECO-GREEN CITIES

2. TeamMembersClass : XSubject: Social ScienceTask : Symposium 3. OBJECTIVETo make everyone understand the following aspects: What is an eco-green city? Why is it important? How can we achieve this? 4. OBJECTIVE How to build it througharchitecture, transportation andstrategic plans? Examples all around the world. 5. INTRODUCTION An eco-city also known assustainable city. Designed - environmentalimpact, inhabited by people anddedicated to 6. minimize required inputs ofenergy, water and food, and wasteoutput of heat, air pollution -CO2, methane, and waterpollution. 7. It should meet the needs ofthe present without sacrificingthe ability of futuregenerations. 8. The term "eco-city" - 1987book, Eco-city Berkeley:Building Cities for a HealthyFuture by Richard Register. 9. A sustainable city should beable to feed itself with minimalreliance on the surroundingcountryside, and power itselfwith renewable sources ofenergy. 10. To create the smallestpossible ecological footprint to produce the lowest quantityof pollution possible, to efficiently use land compost used materials 11. recycle it or convert waste-to-energy. 12. PracticalAchievement 13. Different agricultural systems -agricultural plots within the city reduces distance. Renewable energy sources -wind turbines, solar panels,or bio-gas createdfrom sewage. 14. Methods to reduce airconditioning - planting trees andlightening surfacecolors, natural ventilationsystems, an increase in waterfeatures, and green spacesequaling at least 20% of the 15. Transportation planning-Improved public transport andan increase in pedestrianizationto reduce car emissions -requires a radically differentapproach to city planning. 16. Optimal building density -make public transport viable -avoid the creation of urbanheat islands. Green roofs Zero-emission transport Zero-energy building 17. Green roofs in Hong Kong 18. Masdar 19. Design for a 180 meter tall tower in Paris 20. SUDS energy conservationsystems/devices Xeriscaping - garden andlandscape design for waterconservation 21. Singapore 22. ARCHITECTURE Eco industrial park Urban farming Walkable urbanism Individual buildings Urban infill 23. Reduces environmentalimpact Improves economicperformance 24. Industrial park in Michigan built byPhoenix Designs that is madealmost entirely from recycledmaterials. 25. This helps as native trees, grasses,and flowers, and the landscapingdesign will act as climate shelter forthe facility.They are using from one plantto anotherSteam connections from firmsprovide heating for homes inthat area 26. Using renewable energysuch as wind and solarpower. Creating more efficientwater flows. 27. It is a process of growing anddistributing food, as well asraising animals, in and around acity. This method of food cultivationsaves energy in foodtransportation and saves costs. 28. To make it successful - citiesmust allot a common area forcommunity gardens or farms. 29. As well as a common area fora farmers market in which thefoodstuffs grown within the citywhich can be sold to theresidents of the urban system. 30. Walk able urbanism is adevelopment strategy inopposition to suburban sprawl. It is known as the Charterof New Urbanism. 31. It advocates housing for adiverse population, a full mixof uses, Integrated civic andcommercial centers and walkable streets Accessible open space Positive public space. 32. Welton 33. LEED, or Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design, is aninternationally recognized greenbuilding certification system. In order for a building to becomeLEED, certified sustainability needsto be prioritized in designconstruction and use. 34. Its Recognition includes: Sustainable sites Water efficiency Energy & atmosphere Materials & resources Indoor environmental quality Locations & linkages Awareness & education Innovation in design 35. LEED 36. Abad NucleusMall, Kochi 37. Taipei 101 38. Chicago 39. Sustainable transportationattempts toreduce a use ofgreenhouse emitting gases by: Eco friendly urban planning, lowenvironmental impact vehicles, tocreate an urban center that hasgreater environmentalresponsibility and social equity. 40. Car free plan in Seine,Paris 41. Currently, transportation systemsaccount for nearly a quarter of theworlds energy consumption andcarbon dioxide emission. So there are two major solutionfor this problem to make a cityhealthy and productive. 42. This requires cities be built atlandmark density so thatdestinations are reached. This reduces time intransit, reduces fuel expenditure& also opts for other alternativetransports like walk. 43. Implementing sustainabletransportation must include accessto transportation by all levels ofsociety. For this we need to make publictransportation more accessibleand cheap. 44. By this economic and socialconditions are developed. 45. There is a privateorganization in all overthe world in helping citiesby giving guidelines ofstrategic planning. This org. is United Cities 46. A Nano City Plan 47. A closer look 48. The advantages of urban strategicplanning include, that it placesenvironmental issues as thepriority for the sustainabledevelopment of the city and servesas a platform to develop conceptsand new models of housing,energy, and mobility. 49. Urban Strategic Planning 50. The inequality in spatialdevelopment and socio-economicclasses paired with recentconcerns of poverty and climatechange are new problems inachieving global sustainablecities. 51. UN: Half of the worldspopulation is concentrated incities that are set to rise to 60%within a couple decades. 52. UCLG identified 13 globalchallenges in establishingsustainable cities: Demographic change Migration Globalization of the jobmarket. Poverty and unmet MillenniumDevelopment Goals 53. Segregation Spatial patterns and urbangrowth, metropolisation andthe rise of urban regions More political power for localauthorizes New factors for developing acity and providing services 54. Decline in public funding fordevelopment The environment and climatechange, new and accessiblebuilding technologies 55. Preparing for uncertainty andlimits of growth and globalcommunications andpartnerships. 56. Some Eco greencities of the future 57. AustraliaCity of Moreland. The City of Moreland in Melbournes north has programs for becoming carbon neutral, one of which is Zero Carbon Moreland, amongst other existing 58. Melbourne 59. City of Melbourne.Over the past 10years, various methods ofimproving public transporthave been implemented; carfree zones and entire streetshave also been implemented. 60. Canada Calgary, Alberta was ranked asthe top eco-city in the world in2010 for its, "excellent level ofservice on waste removal,sewage systems, and waterdrinkability and availability,coupled with relatively low airpollution. 61. Calgary 62.

GermanyNo other country has built more eco-city projects than Germany. Freiburg in Breisgau is often referred to as a green city. It is one of the few cities with a Green mayor and is known for its strong solar energy industry. Vauban, Freiburg is a sustainable model district. 75. Freiburg 76. Allhouses are built to a low energy consumption standard and the whole district is designed to be car free. Another green district in Freiburg is Rieselfeld, where houses generate more energy than they consume. 77. Thereare several other greensustainable city projects suchas Kronsberg in Hannover andcurrent developments aroundMunich. 78. KenyaHacienda (Mombasa, Kenya) is the largest development of eco- friendly residential properties in East Africa; construction is currently ongoing, and it will eventually be one of Africas first self-sustaining estates. 79. KoreaSongdo IBD (International Business District) is a planned city in Korea, which has incorporated a number of eco-friendly features. 80. Songdo IBD 81.

ConclusionAt the end of the twentiethcentury mankind is involved inunprecedented experiment.Men are transformingthemselves to an urbanspecies. 90. Conclusion Cities are becoming our mainhabitat. In the entry-firstcentury cities will decide thedestiny of man. 91. Conclusion The entry-first century cities,with their functioning, willdetermine the nature of thebiosphere. There will be nosustainable world withoutsustainable cities. 92. Conclusion Our cities should be soorganized that we feel that wehave a stake in the decisionsthat shape our lives. 93. Conclusion We have to look at cities as awhole in order to understandthe full meaning of sustainableurban development. 94. Conclusion We also want to create a newsense of connectedness in theneighbourhood, to Peopleacross the world, and also tofuture generations.
