Urbanization Flashcards
is the process
through which cities grow, and
higher and higher percentages of
the population come to live in the
city.

The initial movement of people from rural areas to cities seeking better
economic opportunities, driven by Industrialization, Technological
Advancements, Education & Health Services, Better Infrastructure, and
Social & Cultural Appeal.

KEY STRATEGIES IN GREEN URBAN PLANNING
โขUrban Green Spaces and Parks
โขGreen Roofs and Vertical Gardens
โขUrban Tree Planting and Forests
Parks, gardens, and greenbelts offer environmental benefits like improved air quality and cooler temperatures. They also provide
recreational spaces and biodiversity habitats in dense urban areas.
Urban Green Spaces and Parks
greenery is
integrated into public spaces, benefiting not just the environment but also public health by offering natural spaces for recreation and
relaxation.
Singaporeโs โGarden Cityโ initiative
help lower building
temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and mitigate stormwater
runoff. These features also enhance urban biodiversity by providing
habitats for plants and animals in densely built environments.
Green Roofs and Vertical Gardens
are residential buildings covered in vegetation, absorbing air
pollutants and lowering temperatures in a densely populated area.
Milanโs โBosco Verticaleโ (Vertical Forest) towers
Trees help reduce air pollution, absorb
carbon dioxide, and cool urban environments. A single mature tree can
absorb around 22 kilograms of CO2 per year, making urban forests essential in combating climate change and improving air quality.
Urban Tree Planting and Forests
initiative has
planted over one million trees, cooling the city and improving air
quality.
New York Cityโs โMillionTreesNYCโ initiative
KEY COMPONENTS OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION
โขPublic Transportation Systems
โขPromoting Cycling and Walking
โขElectric Vehicles (EVs) and E-Transport
is far more energy-efficient compared to individual car use, reducing traffic congestion and
lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Public Transportation Systems
reducing reliance on
private cars and significantly lowering urban emissions.
Curitiba, Brazil, has developed a highly
efficient Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system
Building dedicated cycling lanes and
pedestrian pathways promotes low-carbon commuting options while reducing traffic congestion and pollution.
