Green Infrastructure?
Hi Guys,
After our big question session last Thursday, we wondered if you could give us some ideas on developing better city plannings and improving cities infrastructure.
We think a good way to start is thinking about the impact that city development is causing to all natural life around.
As we concluded, during class, people have been destroying Nature to build new cities. These cities are growing faster and faster as more and more people need a shelter (a home), making city planning more and more challenging to engineers, architects, politicians...
So... we thought...why not building green cities?
But... What is a green city? What do we have to do to make our cities greener? What will be the impact on city planning and infrastructure if we do transform our cities in greener places?
We found two videos that gives us an idea of how to connect green life to city planning. We also found two great sites that spread the idea of building green.
Watch the videos. Explore the sites. Talk to your parents, people in your community and discuss the topic so that you have a better idea of this difficult problem every city in the world is facing!
After researching, write a comment here telling us your opinion on the matter.
Do you know any green cities? Will we ever see them in Brazil?
