Özet

Urban communities need to focus on not only limiting and reversing the drivers of emissions (such as energy, water, land, natural resources like trees, grasses, and flowers) but also preserving carbon sinks and reaching net-zero emissions. The transitions from the old urban infrastructures to new ones that are reducing or eliminating global warming are the key to the survival of all urban areas of any size. There are scientific and technological solutions for improving urban growth in an environmental way through smart, green, and healthy technologies.
