Ecocity

ECO-CITY is an ecologically healthy city. The ecocity provides healthy abundance to its inhabitants without consuming more (renewable) resources than it produces, without producing more waste than it can assimilate, and without being toxic to itself or neighboring ecosystems.

1. ECO-CITY

2. Definition of Eco City ‹#› ECO-CITY is an ecologically healthy city. The ecocity provides healthy abundance to its inhabitants without consuming more (renewable) resources than it produces, without producing more waste than it can assimilate, and without being toxic to itself or neighboring ecosystems.

3. ‹#› Our Vision is to make an Eco-City which will be“ Green,Clean & Fully Dependent on Renewable Energy Eco-City Green Renewable Energy Clean”.

4. ‹#› Green City Community Gardening Establishing Eco-Friendly Houses or Buildings bymaking gardens or small nurseries in the roof top areas or extended free spaces. Roadside Plantation . Establishing Parks, Lakes Ponds .

5. Clean City A well planned city layout. Using dustbins in the streets, almost all the street shopa a me markets should have dust bins placed. A proper waste management and disposal management in hospitals. Waste Management. Storage. Collection Transport and handling. Recycling. Disposal anem monetaring of waste products. Sewer system management plan In India; Mysore, Chandigarh are best examples of Green city.

6. ‹#› Renewable Energy The most important perquisite of a eco city is to mitigate the emission of carbondioxide from all sort of energy use. (Transportation, Electricity, Cooking, Heating, Cooling etc.) Thats why we need to rely on Renewable energy resources. Wind Power Hydro power. Solar Energy. Geo-thermal Energy. Bio Energy;bio gas, bio fuel, bio diesel.

7. The Essential Elements of Green Cities The specific components of greeen cities influence their morphology and functionality, which in tuen are responsible for their differences between settlements and common cities. ‹#›

8. Green and Blue Oxygen-Producing Areas ‹#› One of the fundamental componenets of urban infrastructures, in general, and the green cities, in particular, ia represented by the green areas. These areas encompasses all the spaces with planted flowers, shrubs, trees, while the urban green area system includes bit of the green spaces within the cities and those lying on it's outskirts.

9. Green And Blue Corridors-Producing Areas

10. The Blue-Green Corridors The Green Corridors(or Green ways). Are a network of linear spaces conceived, planned ans managed for multiple purposes, including re creation and bio diversity conservation. The Blue Corridors. The blue corridors include all the natural and /or anthropogenic water courses crossing thr urban areas, which may become urban stems or branches, making uo genuine urban hydrological systems. ‹#›

12. Green Belts The green belts are the areas delimented around thr large cities with a view to protect the elements of natural setting. At the same time, they are meant to orevent their uncontrolled expansion, to preserve the valuable traditional landscapes and to ensure adsitional areas for leisure and recreation. ‹#›

14. Urban Forest ‹#› Urban Forest :it represents the tree vegetation within the cities or around them, in the most various forms:-fromt the isolated trees within the private gardens to the street lining trees, from thr small clusters around the residential buildings to the parklands ans the remnants of natural forests

16. Urban Farms Urban Forests are areas with natural, swmi-natural or planted forests situated in the cities or on the outskirts. The urban farms represent a modern urban conceot referring to the traditional way of growing the crops, with the purpose of getting fresh and natural products for the members of the urban community ;it would be ideal to fertilize the soils with manure, as in the case of rural ecological farms. ‹#›

18. The Green Buildings ‹#› The Green Buildings are those edifices built and used in a more responsible manner with regard to the environment during all their life cycle:design , construction, use, maintenance, rehabilitation and demolition. The buildings are designed so that to use efficiently the energy, the water and other renewable resources. Important aspects are building's shape and orientation, the use of natural light, passive systems of energy, automatic and efficient lighting systems, efficient air conditioning systems, and optimum thermal the use of warm cours, having physiological and sanogenic effects and the use of alternative, clean energies.

20. Green Walls and Vertical Gardens ‹#› The traditional green areas are embedded in new planning concepts, meants to interconnect residential areas, green areas and water surfaces throughout unconventional green area infrastructures. The element of novelts is the introduction od vegetation (adjacent green) to the arrangement of green building:green roofs and terraces, green walls and green hedges made of trees or shrubs. Thus, a green building can help increase comfort by bringing the benefits of urban green spaces closer to the user.

21. Green Walls and Vertical Gardens ‹#›

22. ‹#› GREEN HOUSES A more recent trend is the returning to the old methods, techniques and building materials. However, the resulted buildings would fit better into suburbs, not into the proper city. A new way of valuing housing traditions, blending energy effeciency with cultural-aesthetic values is the use of famous cob. The cob is a mixture of loam, sand, straw, water and earth that can be used for building sanitary dwellings with diverse architecture. Thses buildings are ecological from the point of view of construction materials,building technology, consumed energy, moisture content, resistance to earthquakes, and durability. Cob houses automatically adjust moisture and maintain heat in winter and coolness in summer.

23. ‹#› Green Roofs

24. Vertical Forest Vertical Forest is a complex of multileve residential buildings with treeand shrub vegetation growing on roof and on a number of asymmetric terraces.

25. Vertical Forest ‹#›

26. ‹#› Challenges Existing Infrastructure. The high cost of the technological integration necessary for eco city development. Planning and managing large scale sustainable programs. Rapid Population Growths. High Rate Of Poverty. Lengthy Process And Research.

27. ‹#› Suggestions Local Government can encourage people by giving reward or subsidies to those who will implement proper waste management system, build eco friendly house and renewable energy in all spheres of life. We can use the vast unemployed population as manpower for the renewable energy industries, recruit more people to keep the city clean. People working in indistries should be provided by bicycles for transportation. Encouraging the people to use public transportation. Government should introduce strict by-laws against the environmental issues. Building Thriving Green Spaces. Educating both the children and adults by various methods.
