Sustainable Urban Living – Measures including the use of renewable resources, energy efficiency and use of public transport to ensure minimal damage to the environment
Sustainability = meeting current needs without damaging the ability to meet future needs
Urban = relating to the city
So, one example of sustainable urban living is:
Use public transport because it uses fewer resources for the same number of people.
Other examples include:
As an example, Copenhagen in Denmark is often ranked as one of the greenest cities on the planet.
Among many innovations, it has created an energy-efficient district heating system that connects to nearly every household.
It has a highly integrated transport system and is building what’s known as super cycle highways, which have led to 45% of the city’s residents commuting by bike every day.
The city set a goal to become carbon neutral by 2025.
