Eco-city is defined as an ecologically healthy city that provides abundance to its inhabitants through renewable resources and minimizes waste and pollution. The document outlines the key elements of an eco-city including green spaces like community gardens, parks and plantations to make the city green. Clean city initiatives involve proper waste management and disposal. The eco-city aims to rely on renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro power. Building green spaces, corridors, forests and farms are essential, as well as green buildings that efficiently use energy and resources. Challenges include existing infrastructure and costs, while suggestions are encouraging renewable energy, public transport, education and strict environmental laws.

1. ECO-CITY

2. Definition of Eco City
2
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.

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

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.
1. Wind Power
2. Hydro power.
3. Solar Energy.
4. Geo-thermal Energy.
5. 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
8
● 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
14
● 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

15. Urban Forest
15

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
18
● 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.

Gardens

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.

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.

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.

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.
