Question

Write any three characteristics of a Sustainable City.

Answer 1

The characteristics of sustainable cities are:

1. Sustainable cities use renewable energy sources, such as solar. A zero-energy building has zero net energy consumption, meaning the total energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the renewable energy generated on site.
2. The 5R principle is followed for waste management. 5R means Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, and Refuse.
3. Sustainable cities have identified zones of the city, such as residential, agricultural, forest, commercial, and industrial. Permission is given to construct only green buildings or eco-friendly buildings. Strict adherence to environmental protocol is seen.
