Sustainability
GreenCity urban areas are designed and organized in keeping with proven sustainable development principles. The Plan has three main objectives:
to limit its environmental impact over conventional developments,
to promote social cohesion, and
to promote regional economic development
To achieve these goals, GreenCity is designed to reduce energy needs and save resources. Planning also focuses on creating a socially and functionally diverse environment (housing, services, recreation, entertainment, etc.) within a short walking distance. As a result, residents will enjoy richer and more diverse lifestyles in a setting that respects the environment.
With the reintegration of nature planned for the heart of the neighborhood, the use of renewable energy, efforts to minimize energy consumption, and their sustainable water and waste management, and welcoming social diversity, GreenCity will create opportunities for new ways of living together that is more respectful of both people and the environment. Residents enjoy a higher quality of life, a calmer, healthier environment, better social cohesion, and better connectivity at all levels.
