.1 LIST OF STRATEGIES
4.1.1 Government introduce green city (Putrajaya). Putrajaya was designed to consolidate the government ministries in one location to attain greater efficiency for a growing government. The decision to move out of Kuala Lumpur was taken in order to relieve traffic congestion and to allow the government to convert all government properties into commercial developments. As the new capital, Putrajaya was designed to be the nation’s pride, an ‘intelligent garden city’ that is well-planned, aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly, and with many green and open areas. Putrajaya Holdings is a private company created by the government in order to develop the city more quickly. While the main shareholder is Petronas, the Malaysian national oil company, there are also concession holders, land owners and a master developer for Putrajaya. Putrajaya has been a leader in Southeast Asia in promoting community gardens for residents to grow their own fruit and vegetables on communal plots and expand locally-sourced food. Putrajaya has promoted the “Green City” idea of buildings that use grayscale water management systems, efficient lighting (Energy Commission Building as main model), and Gas District Cooling, all within a ‘low carbon cities framework’. Putrajaya’s wetlands (200

Look at the civilized, beautiful capital cities in every developed country all around the world which is the central of high fashioned and convenience facility. To live in the city, it seems like the nature surrounding is not important to us anymore. In “The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature” David Suzuki presents the connection between human and the nature and how we depend on the surrounding environment. However, within the past century, most of our modern technologies have been developed in order to provide people needs of goods and products (63). Many of the products we made are causing much more harm to the environment than the value that products provide. Technological development has damaged our environment to the point
Again, this section will give a working definition of the “urban question’. To fully compare the political economy and ecological perspectives a description of the “urban question” allows the reader to better understand the divergent schools of thought. For Social Science scholars, from a variety of disciplines, the “urban question” asks how space and the urban or city are related (The City Reader, 2009). The perspective that guides the ecological and the social spatial-dialect schools of thought asks the “urban question” in separate distinct terminology. Respected scholars from the ecological mode of thinking, like Burgess, Wirth and others view society and space from the rationale that geographical scope determines society (The City Reader, 2009). The “urban question” that results from the ecological paradigm sees the relationship between the city (space) as influencing the behaviors of individuals or society in the city. On the other hand...
The creation of open green areas is one essential element in urbanization development. New York Central Park, as a successful precedent
Recent years, government have been focusing on the importance of innovative ideas towards a greener future as there is an increase attention towards environmental consciousness among social groups working towards sustainability of the environment. Funding and incentive scheme has been setup by the government authorities to help various companies to work towards a clean and green city that could help with future economic growth in Singapore. A total of 35 government funding
Urbanization has to deal with the construction of new modernized construction and the use of technology, in total it means advancing from the local to make modernized place and an industrial site. Also it includes the construction of infrastructural buildings, infrastructural buildings are buildings that are constructed for the betterment of the country for the people it includes hospital, schools, bridges, water supplies and different other buildings. Most of the land were covered by the trees, and they only few people living there, in order to develop a modernized place, or an urbanized place, construction needs to be made. In the determination of making an urbanized place where factories and all could be done, practice such as deforestation is done. Lands that were filled with tees are then cutting in order to satisfy the project of urbanization. The urbanized places are still developing which increases the rate of
CSR activities which we are willing to carry out in the near future are in large numbers. One of the projects that specially dedicated to suppliers across the country is “empowering suppliers”.it is to provide them with financial benefits and give them with necessary equipment’s to use in agriculture industry.one of the main problems suppliers face is heavy rain falls in the monsoon season. Due to these interruptions, it makes the farmer to cultivate fruits and vegetables because the heavy flood washes away the planted seeds. Therefore, the steps our research team suggested is to build them greenhouses so that they could harvest inside the green house without and damages for the plants y heavy rainfalls and

In this regard, city authorities all over the world are increasingly adopting energy efficiency measures in a quest to become sustainable into the future. Consequently, this has led to the emergence of the term ‘green cities’ (Aulisi & Hanson, 2004). New York City, viewed by many as an urban, concrete jungle, was recently named the “greenest city" in the United States. This is mainly because most of its residents live in energy-efficient buildings, and use public transport, bicycl...
Indeed, many global cities face compelling urban planning issues like urban sprawl, population, low density development, overuse of non-renewable natural recourses, social inequities and environmental degradation. These issues affect the cities themselves, the adjacent regions and often even globally. The resulting ecological footprint upsets the balance in adjacent rural and natural areas. Unplanned or organic development leads to urban sprawl, traffic problems, pollution and slums (as evident in the case of Mumbai city). Such unplanned development causes solid waste management and water supply to fall inadequate. Urban sprawl gives rise to low density development and car dependent communities, consequently leading to increased urban flooding, low energy efficiency, longer travel time and destruction of croplands, forests and open spaces for development.
Surely there exist cities that are determined to transform into more eco-friendly representatives of urban civilization, yet these efforts are typically focused on minimizing the harmful output of cities rather than rew...
In order to sustain the urban area, regional planner can create an environmentally friendly and sustainable city so that the next generation can meet their own needs. Eco-friendly cities have become a trend in most of the country and they do attract people because of their green environment, a balanced of mixed use of land and low energy consumption and low carbon of energy and transport. The concept is new township. Planner creates a new township to balance the region. This new idea of the city can protect the environment. In Malaysia, Eco World and Forest City in Johor Bharu are the residential area and city with the eco idea are built and it can attract people to come and buy the houses because of the appearance of the house and the landscape design.

It has taken 20 to 30 years, based on images taken in space of the Earth during the late 1960s, for people to realize that the environment ‘is like a bathtub of limited capacity’. Cities have been developing based on human culture whilst trying to be sustainable at the same time. Although it may be sustainable, the production process and the energy producing systems where they burn fossil fuels, contributes to the amount of carbon emissions that we produce each day. Green city is an expression for eco-city which is a city built off the principles of living within the means of the environment. It has been perceived as a concept rather than it circumstantially solving an ecological collapse like the ‘green Disneyland’ in Masdar City described
