The environment and natural resources

The city of the future must be a green city, ie a city whose priority is the
environment and natural resources. A city that prioritizes environmental criteria
in housing, improve transport efficiency, optimize the production of goods and
services or improving waste management in order to improve the quality of life
and addressing the environmental challenges of the city and contribute to the
solution of global climate change.
Its estimated that buildings are responsible for 1/3 of global greenhouse gas
emissions. In the United States, the impact is even greater, with nearly 40% of
all carbon dioxide emissions coming from commercial and residential buildings.
For example, in the United States, the impact is nearly 40% of all carbon
dioxide emissions coming from commercial and residential buildings. This
happens because the buildings typically rely on dirty energy sources And
because most buildings dont use their energy inefficiently. Buildings offer the
opportunity for gas reductions and money savings through green building,
buildings should be built with the final purpose of to be responsible with
environment, through from design responsible. There are several strategies
that can reduce energy consumption in buildings almost the 30 or 80% for
example the use of renewable energy and increased efficiency in the use the
water, renewable energy sources, and sustainable buildings materials, just to
name a few.

We know that nearly As 70% of all water usage on the planet is used in
agricultura and in the future this will clearly have an impact on many cities
capacity to feed themselves, so this is a resource that must be protected and
the city of the future should be handled correctly and efficiently.
For the good management of the natural resources should be taken advantage
the emerging technologies. this technologies improves management of
resources, for example the extraction of metals. The unequal global distribution
of these minerals is concerning and mineral rich states may restrict their
exports to the world market.

The city of the future must be a sustainable city, which is capable of producing
its own goods and services, should have the technology necessary for to get
and tranformar natural resources efficiently and responsibly, should make
correct usage of nonrenewable natural resources, such as water and ensure the
design of buildings friendly with the environment, using non-toxic materials and
renewable energy sources.
