sustainable city
Eco-friendly urban area
A sustainable city is an urban area designed to minimize environmental impact while meeting residents' needs for housing, transportation, energy, and services.
The concept emphasizes renewable resources, efficient public transit, green spaces, and reduced carbon emissions.
Copenhagen aims to become the world's first carbon-neutral sustainable city by 2025.
The term often appears in urban planning discussions alongside smart city and green city, though sustainable city specifically foregrounds long-term ecological viability.
