FUTURE CITY:

GREEN CITY

ORAL PRESENTATION

DEFINITION OF GREEN CITY

GREEN CITY :-A green city is a city that is

environmentally friendly. It is a

city designed with the

consideration of the environment and minimalizes

all harmful impacts on the

environment. It is also a

sustainable city with a livable

environment, a strong economy

and a social and cultural sense

of community.

SECURITY

Security in a city is very

important. Security is

key in order to keep the

citizens safe and to keep

harmful.

Key elements of a city

with good security is

efficient police force and

the cooperation of the

citizens.

SECURITY IMPLEMENTATIONS

Regional Terrorism Prevention This program is a phone

application to enable

citizens to contact any

nearby police force or

homeland security force

nearby if they are in

danger or threat. This program is very useful

as it makes the police

force flexible and efficient

without spreading their

numbers thin.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Water, the most important resource on

Earth. Yet, it is neglected

by most of the Humans

on this Earth. This city will aim to save

every drop of water,

including the ones that

rain from the sky.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Storm Water Trenches.

Storm water trenches are

trenches dug in between

sidewalks, parking lots,

anywhere between the soil.

They act as collectors of

water when it rains.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

WASTE MANAGING

Envac System A vacuum operated trash or

recycle bin. This can make

streets cleaner without the

burden of overflowing trash

cans or the need of rubbish

trucks to collect the rubbish.

A vacuum operated piping

to transport the trash,

makes using electricity with

the Envac system irrelevant.

This makes the Envac

System very energy efficient and very little

energy usage.

Example of Envac Recycle bins :

TOURISM REGION

ECO TOURISM

• Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves

the environment, sustains the well-being of the

local people

• It’s purpose is to educate travelers, to provide

funds for ecological conservation, to directly

benefit the economic development and political

empowerment of local communities

• Creates job opportunities and a stable income for

the local communities

Example :

Tubo Hotel,

Mexico

HOSPITALITY REGION

HOSPITALITY SECTOR

Hospitality Planning for Low-Class Citizens.

A specific community

dedicated to providing

and funding homes for

low-class or homeless

citizens. In return, these people

must work to earn their

homes which can in time contribute to the

employment and growth of the country

TRANSPORTATION AREA

TRANSPORTATION SECTOR

Multilevel Streets. Separating between the light

vehicles and the heavy vehicles.

Safer situations and more

efficient roads. Environmentally friendly

Transportation. Electrical powered transportation.

Solar Powered Transportation.

Hover vehicles using

the effect of magnetism. This enables vehicles to

go in much higher speeds and will totally

cancel out the friction

between the tires of vehicles and the road.

This will hence create

smoother vehicle rides,

satisfying the populace.

THE HENDO HOVERBOARD. A skateboard that uses

the same implementation of using

the magnetism of an

item to lift itself up These hover boards will

be an alternative towards people who cannot afford vehicles

or prefer small vehicles.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

ENERGY SECTOR

Solar Power • Solar Panel Smart Grids• Grids made pure of solar

panels. • Environmental friendly

towards the Earth• Less dependency on fossil

fuels that might deplete one

day and creates an alternative source of fuel

• Pathway made of solar

panels. • This enables more generation of energy to be

made not to mention both

less materials and less

electricity is used.

SOLAR PANEL GRID

Hydroelectric Dams. Environmentally friendly way to

produce electricity. Unlike Solar Panels, where they

are irrelevant during night time,

Hydroelectric Dams work 24/7.

These hydroelectric dams can

produce large amounts of

energy without even releasing a

single greenhouse gas.

Running mainly on the rapid

flows of water to generate

energy, it is maintained by

workers. This can also benefit by creating

Job Opportunities.

DISASTER RELIEF SECTOR

Disaster Resilient Plans Disaster Resilient Structures

Double Stairstep Corners

• These stairstep corners reduce the potentially dangerous

oscillations caused by high winds.

Tuned Mass Damper• A giant pendulum which swings in the opposite direction of

the sway of the building, preventing it from swaying too far.

Forming Disaster Teams.

• Constantly on standby, this assures the safety of

citizens and eases the tense of the community

Example:

Double Stairstep Corner

GREEN BUILDING

GREEN BUILDING

Green Roof System A roof of a building that is

partially or completely covered

with vegetation and a growing

medium, planted over a

waterproofing membrane.

This green roof system acts as

a replacement of a drainage

system and is relatively

cheaper than the usual

materials used for a normal

roof. It also provides insulation to

the building, which can in turn,

reduce the amount of cooling

or heating systems needed in

the building.

“GREEN” Buildings will

also be implemented

in certain areas. These buildings are

buildings that operates

energy efficiently, conserves water, a comfortable, safe and

healthy home, and is a

durable and maintainable home with

very minimal environmental impacts.
