## Sustainable Urban Planning | Building Resilient Cities
* Focus on creating urban environments capable of handling future environmental and population shifts.

## The Challenge of Rapid Urbanization
* Data: By 2050, nearly 70% of the world's population will reside in urban areas.
* Key issues: Pollution, infrastructure strain, and loss of green space.

## Global Urban Population Growth (1950-2050)
* 1950: 0.75 Billion
* 1990: 2.29 Billion
* 2020: 4.37 Billion
* 2050 (Projected): 6.68 Billion

## Integration of Green Infrastructure
* **Vertical Forests:** Utilizing high-rise facades to absorb CO2.
* **Smart Parks:** Using sensors for air quality monitoring.
* **Rooftop Gardens:** Combating the heat island effect.

## Sustainable Mobility Solutions
* Target Modal Split (2030): Public Transit (40%), Cycling (25%), Walking (20%), Private EVs (10%), ICE Vehicles (5%).

## Case Study: Copenhagen
* Over 62% of citizens commute by bike.
* Target: Carbon neutral by 2025.

## Economic Impacts of Green Cities
* Sustainability leads to significant annual savings:
* Energy savings: 120 units
* Health cost reduction: 85 units
* Productivity gains: 60 units
* Infra maintenance reduction: 40 units

## Smart Water & Waste Management
* Implementing greywater recycling for irrigation.
* Circular waste economy: Converting municipal waste to energy.

## Roadmap to 2030
* **2024:** Policy frameworks
* **2026:** Smart Grid upgrades
* **2028:** 40% expansion of green zones
* **2030:** Zero-carbon public transport completion
