India is rapidly moving towards cities. In the next two decades, millions of people will move from villages to cities. If the development of cities is not done thoughtfully, then problems like pollution, traffic, water shortage and heat will increase. Green city is being seen as an option to overcome this problem. Let us know what green cities are like and how important they are for the India of 2047?
What are green cities like?
A lot of emphasis is being laid on building green buildings across the country, but in view of the increasing pollution, green buildings alone will not suffice. For this, it will be very important to build a green city. This was said by experts related to the construction industry in the fifth edition of Saifi Burhani Expo (Construction 360) which ran from 19 to 21 December. He said that India needs not just green buildings but entire green cities.
How will a green city be built?
Kewal Valambhiya, COO of Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI), highlighted the significant shortcomings in urban and regional planning and informed about the huge pressure on metro cities like Mumbai. He said that about 800 people come and settle in these cities every day. In such a situation, there is a lot of discussion on sustainability, but its reality is hardly paid attention to. In such a situation, green cities have become very important.
According to Vishal Thakkar, partner of Prem Group and joint secretary of NAREDCO Maharashtra, green cities are those cities where nature and development go hand in hand. There are lots of trees, parks and greenery in it. Buildings are built in such a way that they consume less electricity and water. There is more focus on using solar energy. Waste material is recycled. Public transport is better so that people drive their vehicles less. Apart from this, there is also focus on reusing water.
How important are these cities for the goal of 2047?
According to Jimmy Mistry, Chairman of Della Group, India’s dream is to become a developed India after 100 years of independence i.e. by 2047. This means a strong economy, good education, health and happy lives, but only if our cities are sustainable. If cities remain polluted and disorganized, the benefits of development will not reach everyone. Floods, heat and drought are increasing due to climate change. The risk of floods is high in coastal cities like Mumbai. Only green cities can fight these problems.
