What is sustainable city 
planning?
• A sustainable city, or also 
know as eco-city, is a city 
designed  with 
consideration  of 
environmental impact, 
inhabited by people 
dedicated to minimization 
of required inputs of 
energy, water and food, 
and  waste  output of  heat , 
air pollution - CO2, 
methane, and water 
pollution.
•  It should meet the  needs  
of the present without 
sacrificing the ability of 
future generations.
A sustainable city should be  able  
to...
• feed itself with  minimal  
reliance on the surrounding 
countryside, and  power  
itself with renewable 
sources of energy.
• create the smallest 
possible  ecological  
footprint
• produce the lowest 
quantity of pollution 
possible
•  efficiently  use  land
• compost used materials - 
recycle it or convert waste-
to- energy
Practical  Achievement
•  Different  agricultural systems 
- agricultural plots within the 
city – reduces  distance .
• Renewable energy sources - 
wind turbines,  solar  panels, or 
bio-gas created from sewage.
• Methods to  reduce  air 
conditioning - planting  trees  
and lightening surface  colors , 
etc
Practical Achievement
• Transportation 
planning-  Improved  
public transport and an 
increase  in 
pedestrianization to 
reduce car  emissions
• Green roofs
Conclusion
Sustainable cities are the way of the future, perhaps the distant 
future, but it is  clear  there are aspects of sustainability that many 
developed  countries are exploring and incorporating. Our  focus  
instead was on the highlighting some positives. The  purpose  of 
sustainable city planning optimizing the effectiveness of a 
community's land use and infrastructure and to  provide  our  children  
and generations to come, with a future.
Thank you for your attention!
