Abstract

Sustainable urban planning provides the path to combat climate change for cities. Integrated urban areas built to put together residents, events, structures, and public facilities, with simple walking and cycling links between them and almost an outstanding transport service to the rest of the world. In other words, a town built with socioeconomic, cultural, environmental (usually referred to as triple) factors is sustainable development, economic growth, or eco-city (also referred to as "ecocity." The work presents the assorted key dimensions of green cities and sustainable urban development with diverse perspectives on global scenarios so that detailed analytics can be done. By incorporating environmentally friendly materials and systems, getting better indoor air quality including using rational or high-efficiency street lights, it minimizes the impact of a building on its natural environment; moreover, those who work or live in these buildings benefit directly from these differences. As a result of the improved conditions, some homeowners have even reported increased productivity for workers. These advantages are more difficult to calculate than pure electricity savings, so conventional accounting approaches that do not consider 'external' urban so national expenses and rewards will potentially underestimate the true worth of high-performance buildings.
