INTROUCTION Cities are offer important opportunities for economic development and for expanding access to

basic services includes health care and education, for large number of people. Moreover green areas (as an integral part of sustainable urban development) present a major opportunity for improving urban environments, quality of lives and livelihoods. Cities and town are major centres for science, innovation, public services and business, fostering economic development, sense of security and thus, also opportunity to meet peoples need. What is more, urban areas are currently the place of residence of a large-segment of the population. More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas.

Nevertheless, cities and town are space of numerous disproportion and complex social, ecological and economic relations too. Urban development also entails increasing income qualities, social polarisation and segregation, urban sprawl and deterioration of the natural environment. In consequence, the processes may lead to the impaired quality of residents’ live. One of the possible solutions to urban problem is a sustainable (sustainable development shall means such socio-economic development which integrates political, economic and social actions, while preserving the natural equilibrium and the sustainability of basic natural processes, which the aim of guaranteeing the ability of individual communities or citizens, of both the present and future generations to satisfy their basic need, approach to cities and towns’ development and the creation of space enabling and supporting urban dwellers’ actions and activities. Those concern, among others, green spaces in cities and towns. Urban greenery in the form of parks, lawns, and squares, as well as garden allotments green spaces of housing estates or public components of harmonious urban development.

WHAT IS A GREEN CITY? A green city is a community of residents, neighbours, workers, and visitors who strive together to balance ecological, economic, and social needs to ensure a clean, healthy and safe environment for all members of society and for generations to come. So a Green City is:  A Green City is a city that has the cleanest and most efficient energy, transportation 

and building infracture possible. A Green City derives its energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, and

distributes that energy through efficient and reliable system.  A Green City is made up of buildings that are energy efficient, conserve water, and reduce waste. A Gren City is connected by clean and accessible public transportation networks and is biking and walking friendly. A Green City is a healthier, more affordable, and more pleasant place to live.  In this project, we are building a township or a city which consists of houses, malls, office buildings, signal lights, schools, hospitals, drainage faciality, farm, solar panels, windmills and ICT city.  The city will have a drainage system that collects water from every house and

recycles it.  Renewable resources like wind power can be used to generate electricity which it turn is used to light city signal lights, street lights.  Recharge ponds can be constructed to recharge the ground water.  Rain water harvesting can be done to collect water for household uses such as flushing, washing, gardening etc.

WHY GREEN CITY IS A MUST?

WHY BECOME A GREEN CITY? To ensure a viable future, the City must take a leadership role and address the impacts placed on the environment by urbanization and a growing populace. These impacts include air and water pollution, climate change, and habitat loss.

: Waste water treatment in factories and housing areas

To address the urgency and gravity of environmental, social, and economic issues confronting urbanized centers, sustainability professionals from a number of major cities in California met in late 2007 to create Green Cities California (GCC). The purpose of this new collaborative is to cooperatively and collectively take action to accelerate local, regional, national and international efforts to achieve sustainability. Participating cities currently include Berkeley, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, and the County of Marin, which together represent over eight million California residents. The Pasadena City Council adopted a resolution in support of Green Cities California on February 4, 2008 and committed to take the following five actions in solidarity with the GCC member cities: 1. Purchasing 100% post-consumer recycled paper for municipal operations. 2. Prohibiting the purchase of bottled water for municipal operations and government sponsored events. 3. Adopting a carbon offset plan for municipal employee air travel. 4. Adopting municipal fleet fuel efficiency standards. 5. Promoting the purchase of California foods for municipal events and operations.
