Sustainable Urban Living Flashcards
Conserving, water and energy
Are using less energy and cutting down and waste such as leaks from pipes
collecting rainwater and recycle water for use as great water in the house and at work for community services e.g. watering golf courses. If it is waste of high-quality drinking water, you can use it to flush toilets in example, water Gardens in East Village
Using biomass in East Village, a combined heat and power system generate electricity, using biomass heat peoples homes
Green roofs to harvest, rainwater and grow food
Increasing efficiency of devices, Eugene, washing machines short flush systems
Greater use of insulation, e.g. double glazing, and incorporating renewable energy systems, such as solar panels on roofs
Recycling waste
Cities reduce heating up to voice, including sanitary food and general rubbish waste untreated waste can cause significant problems such as colour
Reducing packaging and recycling materials, so that if you end up as waste ETA reduction in plastic bags in the UK
Using ways to create energy garden waste into gas
Encouraging people to sort material such as paper, cardboard glass and plastic food and compost, organic waste
Creating green space
Play act as green long is the city absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and limiting oxygen helps produce flood risk. Purified water creates a natural ecosystem for wildlife and provide social and recreational. Space
Urban transport strategies
Traffic congestion is a major issue facing cities. It needs to increase levels of air pollution affecting peoples health. It also reduces economic efficiency wasting time and money stuck in traffic jams.
I’m developing an integrated transport system.
Reducing car parking spaces or charging for cast into the city for example, congestion charge in London.
Making public transport, more attractive.
Improving or adding public transport.
Enabling more cyclists on the road.
