The Republic Indonesia Government in realizing the welfare has a fundamental role that is realized through economic and infrastructure development in various cities in Indonesia. The problem faced by Indonesia in realizing this development is how to keep infrastructure development in line with efforts to preserve the environment, and this is also one of the sustainable development goals. In this study using qualitative descriptive method. Case study that uses the object of research, is City of Bekasi-West Java. Data obtained through interviews with Bekasi City Government officials, documentation and literature studies. The analysis carried out is a SWOT analysis. Based on this research, it proves that Bekasi City, when viewed from geographical aspect, regulations, and existing legal aspects, is able to issue sukuk and carry out green infrastructure development with financing from the green sukuk. However, the reality is, until now there has been no green infrastructure development in Bekasi City that uses financing sources from sukuk or green sukuk. The existing green infrastructure in Bekasi City is a project of several ministries and is not a project of Bekasi City itself.

A collaborative two-part project between Iowa State University Horticulture Extension and the Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association (INLA) resulted in an online, asynchronous training program to prepare green industry professionals for the Iowa Certified Nursery Professional (ICNP) exam, and to provide advanced training through webinars. Since 2008, members have accessed a set of 20 training modules that cover plant identification and content on the written portion of the certification exam. In the 6 years since the modules have been used, the pass rate for the written portion of the exam has increased from 57% (2005–07, 18 participants) to 85% (2008–13, 49 participants). A survey administered to participants between 2008 and 2013 gathered information on participant demographics, interest in learning in an online format, usefulness and applicability of information in preparing for the exam, module usability, and how the modules impacted their learning. Participants felt that the modules were an effective way to deliver content (4.45 out of 5) and reported they were comfortable using a web-based format to learn (4.89 out of 5). Advanced training was delivered to members through three webinar series: five webinars in 2011 and four webinars each in 2012 and 2013. Although attendance to the live webinar sessions was limited, the archived versions have been accessed a number of times.

The neighborhood of Kuzguncuk in Istanbul has been the theater of a 20-year struggle between the authorities and the local population concerning a green area present in the center of the district. This struggle was interesting as it concerned visions of green areas and more globally of society. The inhabitants wanted to have an open green and social area, whereas the centralized authority wanted to use this land for a profitable building project, without any consultation of the neighborhood. In 2015, a park was inaugurated on this land, the result of a compromise between political authorities and inhabitants of Kuzguncuk. Because of this compromise, this is a unique case, and it will be interesting to understand how different visions of green areas and societal values brought about a project such as that of Kuzguncuk.

This research aims to investigate how local government of Surakarta developing green businesses to realise Solo Green City, as the answer of environmental sustainability issue. We elaborate the Green Business Model as a strategy to enhance communities participation in green projects. Schaltegger et al. (2012) explained that green business is a sistematical approach to develop both business and sustainable environment. We applied the qualitative method in this study. We did interview two groups of respondents, policy makers and green business practitioners. Policy makers are Regional Planning Agency (Bappeda) as macro planner and Environmental Agency and Agricurtural; Food Security and Fishery Agency as implementers. On the other hand, we interviewed businessmen of decorative plants, hidroponic community, organic vegetables village, and go green souvenirs sellers as practitioners. It can be concluded that from several green business activities, the community empowerment is the most influential movement to establish Solo Green City. The success project such as Organic Vegetables Village in Mojosongo is the result from collaboration of NGO Rumah Zakat with local community. The project was supervised under Environmental Agency as pilot project of the climate villages. The model that we developed will be submitted to the local government as policy recommendation

Construction projects in Indonesia are rising, but many adversely affect the environment. Green Construction presents a solution to mitigate these impacts, aiming to harmonize environmental sustainability with present and future human needs. Evaluating the implementation of Green Construction in projects is crucial. This study employed the 2015 Green Construction Assessment Model by W.I. Ervianto to assess Green Construction achievements and conducted interviews to identify implementation obstacles in the City Plaza Garut Mall Building Development project. The research revealed that the Green Construction achievement score in the Garut City Plaza Mall Building project was 16.15 out of 21.92, equivalent to 74% of its potential. Although this is the highest Green Construction score achieved in Indonesia, opportunities for improvement persist. Several aspects require optimization. This study underscores the necessity of enhancing Green Construction implementation in construction projects to attain a sustainable balance between environmental conservation and human necessities.

Full textAbstract:
In 2004, the greenhouse and nursery industry was ranked as the fourth largest crop group in the United States based on farm cash receipts (USDA, 2004). The ornamental crop sector was expected to post total sales in excess of 15.3 billion dollars in 2004 (USDA, 2004). Landscape services within the green industry have risen from 28.9 billion in 2002 to 41.6 billion in 2004 (ALCA, 2004). In Iowa, recent surveys of turfgrass and edible food crop production and services have shown a combined net worth of more than 1 billion dollars. However, these surveys failed to include nursery and garden centers, greenhouse growers, landscape designers/contractors, arborists, and florists. Therefore, the objective of this project was to better understand the scope and scale of the ornamental horticulture industry in Iowa. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 1293 horticulture businesses in Iowa. The survey instrument was developed with input from members of the Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association Research Corporation. Before mailing, it was reviewed by survey professionals and piloted to a select group of green industry representatives and edited per their suggestions. Three weeks after mailing, a reminder postcard was sent. Respondents were sorted as to type and size of business, number of employees, and annual sales. The percentage of gross receipts was categorized by types of plants sold and services provided. Respondents also were asked about the factors that limit their success, their strengths compared to competitors, and their expectations for future growth.

Full textAbstract:
World urban areas are increasingly dabbling with the triple challenge of pollution, congestion and environmental degradation. The quest for sanity and healthy urban living led to the introduction of urban green space initiatives. Green space has become primordial in urban areas as it enhances public health, recreation, amenities and property values through its location, accessibility, proximity and serviceability. In a bid to develop an urban green space in Bamenda, the City Council identified the Bamenda escarpment in 2011 for protection. This was followed by a Green City Initiative now captioned the Green City Project. The Bamenda City Council partnering with the UN-Habitat and the Dordrecht/Gorinchem City Councils of the Netherlands seeks to implement an urban greening project with major focus to map out potential areas for creating parks in Bamenda. This project which is a novelty in the rapidly changing urban landscape of Cameroon seeks to contribute to building a green economy that enhances nature, environmental protection and at the same time offers economic and social benefits to its citizens. In this study, we examine the opportunities and challenges of urban greening in Bamenda. Some 50 inhabitants around the escarpment were purposively sampled while council authorities and other stakeholders were interviewed in the Bamenda I municipality in order to assess the opportunities, challenges and prospects for the project. This was complemented by secondary data obtained from the Bamenda City Council. The conclusion drawn is that the initiative will provide opportunities for employment, generate revenue for the City Council and prevent uncontrolled city sprawl against the backdrop of the relatively unstable nature of the foothills (due to mass wasting processes) and land use competition, largely driven by population growth and the daunting task of relocating prior users. We therefore argue in favour of the effective application of urban development policies to restrict encroachment around the area and to engage in slope stabilization where necessary.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to one of the components of the sustainable development of cities - the creation of an urban "green" infrastructure. The development of such infrastructure in cities contributes to an increase in the flow of benefits from ecosystem services and is an important trend in the formation of a green economy. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of the economic efficiency of ecosystem services in cities. The methodological basis for justifying the introduction of eco-infrastructure in cities is the mathematical modeling of the urban area, which shows what economic benefits households and municipalities can receive from the introduction of "green" infrastructure.The article provides an economic assessment of the "green" infrastructure (the so-called "city in the garden") on the example of the project of a new eco-district of the city of Kazan. It is shown that an integrated approach to creating an urban environment with an emphasis on the health and well-being of citizens is beneficial for the economy of the city and the country as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
The ‘city for all’ concept shows how the new Indonesian capital city Nusantara is expected to create a harmonious and inclusive relationship between its residents and its surrounding environment. There is still a long way to go towards its implementation, as there are many unsolved environmental problems related to the new capital city project. In line with the previously-mentioned statement, this study analyzed the feasibility of implementing the city for all concept in the new capital city in view of the existing environmental issues in East Kalimantan. Another objective of this research was to see whether the city for all concept is compatible with the local context. These two research objectives were pursued by using the ‘smart city’ and ‘green city’ perspectives to assess the current development progress. We used qualitative research methods, including fieldwork and in-depth interviews with various actors in both the national and local context, as well as intensive archival research. This study revealed that there is a discrepancy in vision between the government, the city planners, and the locals in East Kalimantan. Furthermore, the locals, especially indigenous people, have shown a lukewarm response to the capital city project. Based on the fieldwork, it seems that the city for all concept and the currently existing smart and green city components do not match. This study concludes that solving the current environmental problems and unequal social participation should be done first before carrying on with the capital city development planning.

In recent years, the Republic of Belarus has developed the practice of introducing elements of green infrastructure into urban development programs. This is a contribution to the transition to environmentally friendly production technologies, the construction of buildings with a low share of energy and resource consumption, the implementation of environmental-oriented transport infrastructure, the use of effective technologies for the collection, disposal and processing of waste, and an increase in amount of green areas in cities. From 2016 to the present, the country is implementing a 5-year project of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) “Supporting Green Urban Development in Small and Medium-Sized Cities in Belarus”. The objective of the Project is the growth of development of green urban development plans and pilot green urban development initiatives in the cities of Polack, Navapolack, Navahrudak related to energy efficiency and sustainable transport. An important component in the formation of green urban planning is the operation of spatial information. For this purpose, mapping and geoinformation approaches were applied in the study. They made it possible to identify the modern features of the distribution of green city indicators in pilot cities, carry out their analysis and propose a new development strategy that will improve the blue-green infrastructure. For each city, in the instrumental geographic information systems ArcGIS and QGIS, a methodology was developed and indicators were mapped that characterize condition of residential areas, quality of buildings, population density, location of green areas, proximity of public transport stops and other urban infrastructure, tourism service infrastructure and the distribution of energy users and sources of CO2 emissions. Based on the results of GIS analysis of the obtained layers of indicators of the profile of the green city, a spatial development strategy was formed. The information of the thematic layers on indicators of urban development became the basis for the creation of a series of web maps in ArcGIS Online, which are currently being discussed by residents of key cities. The cartographic materials prepared within the project can be finalized and used to work with city administrations, as well as to inform the population about the state of the city and the decisions taken.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the many interrelationships between humans and natural environment is increasingly important in light of significant socio-ecological challenges such as large-scale biodiversity loss and global climate change. How people conceptualize, evaluate, and embody human-nature interactions is largely the result of diverse disciplinary, theoretical, sociocultural, and political contexts. Over the past five years, the city of Lviv has become a platform for implementing the modern practices in the field of spatial planning and urban development. The introduction of separate public transport lanes, convenient and inclusive public spaces and comfortable green zones steadily increases the city's ranking position. At the same time, not all districts and neighbourhoods of the city have developed plans and projects that could locally improve the standard of living and comfort of city residents. The article presents the development of the Green Line project for one of the most remote micro-districts in the city of Lviv – Riasne. Taking into account global trends and international practices, it is concluded that green connections, which can connect several important areas within the neighbourhood and provide fast and comfortable routes for pedestrians and cyclists, will be a significant addition to the neighborhood's architectural landscape. The implementation of the Green Line project will help address several issues, including the division of the micro-district into Riasne-1 and Riasne-2, a lack of recreational areas, green public spaces, and underdeveloped pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. An analysis of the historical context, socio-economic development, and current transformations has allowed the development of a project that can be used in the future to create new green areas and connections in this research neighbourhood. An essential aspect of this article is the dissemination of practices for transforming urban spaces and green areas in remote areas and micro-districts of the city, which require fundamental changes in spatial planning and the creation of new spaces for the leisure and recreation of local residents.

Abstract The idea of urban environmental acupuncture postulates, that in areas with no space available for green spaces, sustainability and climate resistance can be improved by small green spots in key locations. The project SALUTE4CE established pilot environmental acupuncture strategies in Central-European cities. The author was responsible for elaborating an Action Plan for the functional area of Chorzów, Ruda Śląska and Świętochłowice, Poland. The project aimed at finding spots with potential outcomes in terms of sustainability, reducing urban heat islands and improving comfort and quality of spaces, with nature based solutions: from planting climate resistant vegetation and restoring biodiversity, through improving local retention, to green roofs or vertical walls. The concept assumes, that acting in many small places can bring synergic effects and contribute to urban regeneration. Four pilot spots have been constructed so far, and other interventions shall be realized in the coming years. So far the project results have been disseminated in project documents and reports. This paper aims at a summary of project experiences and perspectives in regard to participating Polish cities.

Full textAbstract:
In Leipzig, despite strong growth, reurbanization and re-densification, in the last decade it has still been possible for the city to green brownfields with a new type of green space: urban forests. The background to this was of course the city’s decades of shrinkage and the emergence of numerous brownfields. The city of Leipzig started urban redevelopment in 2001 and pursued the strategy “more green, less density” in its planning. This included the creation of traditional and new green spaces as well as temporary uses. New green space concepts were also experimented with, including pocket forests and urban forests on larger, inner-city brownfields. This pursued several objectives: the forest was meant to contribute to improving the urban climatic and air-hygienic situation, to enhance the value of adjacent areas, create new recreational opportunities and contribute to increasing biodiversity. Another aspect is also the financing, for instance, the afforestation of brownfields is the cheapest way to create greenery. As a result of almost ten years of interdisciplinary monitoring of the project, it can now be stated that urban forests fulfil the objectives and are accepted and used by the population. Urban forests do not constitute an independent or new type of nature-based solutions they create new ecosystems from existing abandoned, brownfields, or neglected area.

In our paper, the design of "Ming change dark" river closure project can fundamental solve the city environmental pollution problems, improve the source water quality without any menace from the "rear", and make Shiyan's green economy grow rapidly. On the other hand, this "city agriculture" new thinking will completely change the serious situation of arable land area which is decreasing year by year in the world.

The Capital Economic Circle is an important planning project in China. Sustainability is a key factor for the long-term development of the Capital Economic Circle. In this paper, we investigated the sustainability of 13 cities in the Capital Economic Circle using three dimensions: economy, society, and environment. The induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator was used for the aggregation of criteria data. The order-inducing variable in the IOWA operator was measure by the correlation degree of a criterion and all the other criteria. Criteria with larger order-inducing values were given more weight as they provided more support for the development of other criteria. The assessment results indicate that the sustainable development of most of the cities, except for Beijing and Tianjin, is poor, with performance values below 0.5. By comparing the development using three dimensions, it was found that poor performances of economic sustainability were the main reason for this. Additionally, all of the cities showed a sound momentum of sustainable growth even though the sustainable levels of most of the cities were not high. In terms of sustainable development across the three dimensions, the cities had the highest levels of environmental sustainability. The social sustainability of the cities, except for Beijing and Tianjin, was better than their economic sustainability. However, more than half of the cities (accounting for 53.8%) showed a decline in social sustainability, especially for Zhangjiakou, which had the highest degree of decline of 4.00%. Some suggestions have been provided on the basis of the main assessment results. For example, Beijing should invest more in education as well as further easing transportation pressure. There is room for further improvement of the social and environmental sustainability of Tianjin. The other cities should focus on developing economic sustainability as well as preventing the decline of social sustainability.

Universitas Trisakti strives to be a pioneer and role model for other institutions in managing a good green campus environment, by implementing all environmentally friendly elements in every aspect. One of the aspects referred to is human resources, which is the most important environmentally friendly element in a green campus environment management. The success or failure of a campus environment management depends on the human resources on the campus. The management starts from the design stage, physical construction implementation, and construction supervision or construction management, up to post-occupational management. If the human resources who will manage that green campus development really understand the concept of green buildings, of green campus areas, and of the green city of Jakarta or as known as the Jakarta smart planning, then the results of analysis managing a green campus will reach the target. All stake holders of development services who participate will be satisfied, the project will bring benefit, and then the users of the building will be happy. Therefore, the research results are the need for a lot of green building skilled personnel in handling the Green Campus Project of Universitas Trisakti.

Full textAbstract:
This case study of a dispute over a project to construct a road through green space in a small Canadian city brings together two hitherto separate theoretical approaches to mobility disputes: "culture stories" and "regimes of engagement". The stories opponents tell, in interviews and documents, concern their mobilization against the project, the value of environmental preservation, and the costs of expanded automobility, culminating in contrasting visions of urban development. The culture stories approach examines how stories varied on a narrative dimension of informational formats, temporal structures, causal mechanisms, and plot institutionalization, and a place dimension of relational geography and physical attributes. The pragmatic conditions of the different narratives of contestation, and of the challenges faced by opponents are analysed in terms of the relation between regimes of engagement: a regime of familiarity based in slow mobilities, a regime of planned action based in automobility, and the clash of industrial and green orders of worth in a regime of justification

Full textAbstract:
Schoolyards in North America and Europe are increasingly using green fences as one measure to protect vulnerable populations from localised air pollution. This paper assesses the possibilities and limits for mobilising this format of site-specific green infrastructure in cities in low- and middle-income countries beset by air pollution and multiple other socio-environmental challenges, and particularly questions the definition of green fences as a green infrastructure for air quality (GI4AQ). We applied several qualitative and action research methods to the question of green fence implementation in Buenos Aires, Argentina—a Latin American city with weak air-quality policies, limited green infrastructure, and little experience with nature-based solutions. Firstly, we conducted a literature review of the role that urban vegetation and ecosystem services may play in AQ policy and the implementation barriers to such approaches globally and in the city. Secondly, we planned, designed, constructed, maintained, and evaluated a pilot green fence in a school playground. Thirdly, we carried out supplementary interviews with stakeholders and expert informants and compiled project members’ narratives to respectively characterise the barriers that the project encountered and delineate its attributes based on the associated actions that we took to overcome such barriers to implementation and complete the pilot. Our findings identify multiple barriers across seven known categories (institutional, engagement, political, socio-cultural, built environment and natural landscape, knowledge base and financial) and highlight examples not previously considered in the extant international literature. Furthermore, learning from this experience, the paper proposes an expanded model of green infrastructure for air quality plus multi-dimensional co-benefits (GI4AQ+) to increase implementation chances by attending to local needs and priorities.

Full textAbstract:
As cities increase in size and density, the ecosystem services supplied by urban greenery and green infrastructure are increasingly vital for sustainable, liveable urban areas. However, retaining and maximising urban greenery in densifying cities is challenging. Governments have critical roles in addressing these challenges through policy development and implementation. While there has been significant attention on the quality and quantity of green space on public land, there is an increasing focus on policy mechanisms for integrating green infrastructure into the private realm, including green roofs, walls, facades, balconies and gardens. As part of City of Melbourne’s efforts to increase greening across the municipality, its 2017 Green Our City Strategic Action Plan includes specific focus on the private realm, and development of regulatory processes for green infrastructure. This article reports on a participatory research project to develop a Green Factor Tool for application to building development proposals in Melbourne. We focus on the transdisciplinary collaborations that brought together contributions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers and designers. We discuss how local research on green space contributions to provision of ecosystem services shaped the design of the tool and provided the tool’s rigorous evidence-base. Finally, we consider the roles of urban planning in retaining and maximising urban green spaces in densifying urban areas.

Geographically located on the central coastal plain of Vietnam, with low, flat topography, Ha Tinh City has an urban architecture which interwoven closely with very characteristic rural areas. In 2017-2021, we conducted a research project on building a system of green architecture criteria and proposed architectural design solutions for sustainable small-scale housing in Ha Tinh City in the context of climate change. The research project has conducted surveys, interviews and measurements of climate data at 195 representative houses in 4 typical urban areas of the city. Based on very detailed survey results, combined with the traditional vernacular experience gained from local experts and residents, we have gradually analyzed and assessed the effects of climate change on houses and human activities, from which to build a set of criteria to guide people to build or renovate their homes in the direction of green vernacular architecture which is more sustainable and better adapt to climate change in Ha Tinh.

Full textAbstract:
Frogeye leaf spot of soybean, caused by Cercospora sojina, is typically a disease of warm and humid regions (2). Although the disease was reported in the Midwest in the 1920s (1), no outbreaks have been recorded in Iowa. Outbreaks of frogeye leaf spot occurred during 1999 in soybean fields in Ames and Grand Junction in central Iowa. During the 2000 growing season, the disease occurred in southwestern, southcentral, central, southeastern, and east-central Iowa. Occurrences of the disease with severity (reduction of green leaf area) greater than 50% were observed in production soybean fields at Grand Junction in central Iowa and Central City in eastern Iowa. In a 12-ha no-till field planted with cv. Asgrow 2501, the disease was noticeable and uniformly distributed in the entire field in mid July. Disease severity in this field was greater than 70% by the end of August. Disease incidence, however, was less than 10% in three adjacent soybean fields. In a soybean performance test at a central Iowa location where the disease occurred in 1999 and 2000, the disease was observed on all 80 varieties, with four having a severity equal to or greater than 40%. Fourteen entries had less than a 10% disease severity and 19 entries had a disease severity equal to or greater than 30%. Infected leaves in these locations had typical lesions of frogeye leaf spot, which appeared as reddish brown margins surrounding light brown or ash gray centers. On the infected tissues, hyaline, straight, and multiseptate conidia from clustered conidiophores were found, isolated, and identified to C. sojina. The relatively warm winter temperatures in 1998 to 1999 and 1999 to 2000 were associated with frogeye leaf spot epidemics. Because of the seedborne nature of C. sojina, efforts are warranted to monitor and survey the occurrence of frogeye leaf spot in Iowa, an important seed production state in the northern soybean production region.

The layout of the contemporary Armenian capital Yerevan is based on a 1924 master plan by the Soviet Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan, who was inspired by the English concept of the 'garden city'. Still, the city has a much longer 'green tradition' that is documented for pre-Soviet times and might reach back to - or at least allude to - the parks and gardens of ancient Mesopotamia. In this article, we give insights into this local green tradition. First, we describe the changing attitude towards the city and urban green space and the city's and city dwellers' changing relationship to nature more generally. We then introduce the Cascade, a Soviet fountain structure, as an example to illustrate some of the recent developments and to map out the tangible and intangible links with the ancient past. Finally, building on our interpretation of the ancient and recent past of Yerevan, we make some suggestions for how to (re)turn the Cascade into a green project that is both traditional and at the same time modern.

Green ash in nine cities in Iowa and Wisconsin were surveyed in August and September 1994 for occurrence and impact of ash yellows (AshY) phytoplasma infection. In each city, the survey included 12 arbitrarily selected trees in each of three crown condition categories: less than 10% crown dieback, 11 to 30% crown dieback, and more than 30% crown dieback. Up to four trees per community with witches'-brooms were also sampled. Occurrence of phytoplasmal infection in sampled trees lacking witches'-brooms ranged from 3% to 19% among the cities in the survey. The number of trees that tested positive for phytoplasmas, or that exhibited epicormic sprouts, deliquescent branching, basal bark cracks, or basal shoots, did not differ significantly among the crown dieback classes sampled. Trees that displayed witches'-brooms or basal shoots were significantly (P<0.005) more likely to be infected with phytoplasmas (54%) than trees lacking these symptoms (13%). The presence of epicormic sprouts, deliquescent branching, or basal bark cracks was not significantly associated with presence of phytoplasmas. Trees infected with phytoplasmas had significantly (P<0.0001) less radial growth than noninfected trees from 1973 to 1994.

The article presents the impact of the green economy on the urbanized ecosystem of the city of Almaty. The concept of green economy is considered as sustainable development with minimal risks to the environment and the reduction of the negative impact of human economic activity on the environment, as well as the development of this direction in the country and, in particular, in the city of Almaty. A phased process of transition to a green economy is shown, the implementation of the “Zhasyl Almaty” project, where, according to the concept of transition to a green economy, according to the concept of “smart cities”, one of the main goals of the development of Almaty is to preserve natural resources, comfortable living conditions for the population and improve the quality of life in all areas of Almaty, which is the main requirement of a green economy. In recent years, the growth of new buildings in the city of Almaty has intensified the processes of anthropogenic impact on the urban flora. The existing experience of green building in the city of Almaty does not fully take into account the specific environmental conditions of various districts of the city and the level of their technogenic pollution, and the issues of the state of plantations in residential and industrial areas, the resistance of vegetation to the impact of the urban environment are ignored. Due to the increasing density of urban development with multi-storey buildings (more than 20 floors), it is becoming increasingly difficult to realize the concept of a green city of Almaty.

Due to the increase in population all over the world, the term city development has emerged using the method of sustainable green cities, which are cities designed taking into account the environmental impact to reduce the required input from energy, water, and food production. This study discusses this topic with three main objectives; the first is to analyze the project work network of the Sustainable Green City Development Project, the second is to investigate the impact of speeding up the project on network planning, and the third is to determine the cost differences before and after acceleration. The Critical Path Method (CPM) is valuable for managing complex projects if the activity durations are known. However, in reality, the projected durations may vary in the course of a project due to multiple factors, such as equipment breakdowns, human errors, and material shortages. This study used the CPM and crashing methods to determine the optimal project turnaround time using critical path optimization techniques. Analysis using CPM showed that the initial project duration was 1205 weeks but can be reduced to 1197 weeks. However, with acceleration, there is a slight difference, corresponding to a 0.67% decrease in the duration and approximately 8 weeks. The study showed that the total cost of the project work is US $55M at the normal duration and became US $59M after acceleration, which is a slight increase.

Abstract The characteristics of urban green space have context-dependent associations with socioeconomic status (SES). Latin American cities provide a unique but understudied context to assess the green space-SES associations. We measured the quantity and quality of green space as greenness from satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and we modeled the relationship between greenness and SES in 371 major Latin American cities between 2000 and 2015. We found that SES was negatively associated with average greenness at city and sub-city scales, which could be explained by urbanization generally improving SES while reducing the provision of green space. About 82% of the cities and 64% of the sub-cities experienced greening or increases in greenness over time. Although with lower average greenness, cities with higher SES had greater greening; however, it was the opposite for sub-cities. We suggest that greening is more likely to take place in peripheral sub-cities where SES tends to be lower. The findings challenge the belief that places with higher SES have better access to environmental resources and amenities; instead, this relationship is context dependent.

At present, China is in a period of rapid urbanization, and the concept of green structure is getting more and more attention. Green structures can solve asset utilization and ecological problems brought about by rapid urbanization. Therefore, green structure has become the only way for the development of China’s construction industry. This paper aims to study the feasibility analysis of new green building technology measures. The related concepts of green building, the analytic hierarchy process, and the meaning of life cycle cost are proposed. The main assessment bottom lines include engineering, environmental, social, and economic bottom lines. From the application examples of green building technology in the starting area of Guangzhou International Financial City, it can be seen that, based on the green building technology proposed in this paper, it is necessary to sort out specific technologies and practices suitable for the actual application of the project in a specific project. Then, the applicability and incremental cost of each technology can be analyzed, and finally, a green building technology system suitable for specific project applications is formed. The experimental results show that compared with residential buildings, the increase of public buildings is 338 million yuan, and the increase of nonassigned parts is about 9.84 million yuan.

Full textAbstract:
Waste management is a pressing concern for society, requiring substantial labor resources and impacting various social aspects. Green cities strive for achieving a net zero-carbon footprint, including efficient waste management. The waste management system deals with three problems that are interrelated: a) the timely checking of the status of bins to prevent overflow; b) checking the precise location of bins; and c) finding the optimal route to the filled bins. The existing systems fail to satisfy all three problem areas with a single solution. To track the overflow of the bin, the proposed model uses ultrasonic sensors, which are complemented with LoRa to transmit the exact location of the bins in a real-time environment. The existing models are not that efficient at calculating the exact bin-filled status along with the precise location of the bins. The Floyd-Warshall algorithm in the proposed model optimizes waste collection using the Floyd-Warshall algorithm to determine the shortest path. Leveraging low-cost IoT technologies, specifically LoRa modules for data transfer, our solution offers benefits such as simplicity, affordability, and ease of replacement. By employing the Floyd-Warshall algorithm with a time complexity of O (n^3), our method efficiently determines the most optimal waste pickup route, saving time and resources. This study presents a smart waste management solution utilising Arduino UNO microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, and LoRaWAN to measure waste levels accurately. The proposed strategy aims to create clean and pollution-free cities by addressing the problem of waste distribution caused by poor collection techniques.
