"In the face of climate change and a surging human population, cities are pledging to become completely self-sustainable. Read here and learn more about the top cities around the world that are proud to be powered from renewable energy sources, and are at the forefront of being ecologically friendly.
The race for all cities to become self-sustainable has fully emerged into the spotlight."

"Sustainable energy refers to the use of any type of energy that can meet demands without putting the resources in danger of running out. Sustainable energy sources cause minimal damage to the environment and will never deplete. They offer sustainability in the form of healthy, safe, long-lasting, and self-replenishing energy sources.
In ecological terms, anything sustainable poses minimal risk to the environment and can be reused or replenished relatively quickly"
"It’s called sustainable energy because it can sustain us for the long term"
"Sustainable energy can reduce (and eventually eliminate) our reliance on fossil fuels. As of right now, the most common energy resources are not sustainable. We currently meet our energy needs with a combination of several resources, but around 63% of the US’s energy is still generated from natural gas, coal, and oil. Only 18% is from renewable resources.
The more we drive up the demand for unlimited clean energy and renewable energy, the fewer fossil fuels we will need to power our world. Fossil fuels may be reliable and easy to access right now, but this won’t always be the case."

"We see that we live differently and use technologies in a new way, but how cities work with the idea of fabrications, the way we produce food, or the way we recycle materials. We are waiting to see the technologies that will transform our cities."

"We need to reinvent our cities and their relationship to people and nature by re-localising production so that cities are generative rather than extractive, restorative rather than destructive"
"In order for this to be possible, the city must be locally productive and globally connected to knowledge, economic and social networks, making cooperation between cities, citizens and knowledge centers the basis of the scientific knowledge."
"Developing products that can be produced locally and shared globally. From objects to food, to waste management or energy harvesting solutions"

"cities would boast of several eco-credentials, as you have read above. Some of them are:
Use of renewable sources of energy.
Less vehicular congestion and pollution with the use of Personal Rapid Transit systems.
Robust systems for flood management, rainwater harvesting and waste recycling.
Increase in total forest cover with multiple green zones."

"cities can progress from resilient to sustainable, smart and eventually self-sufficient cities using a system thinking approach."
