IGBC Online Session on Green Cities

India is among one of the first few countries to develop an exclusive rating system for Green Cities. IGBC Green Cities Rating has been launched for greening of large developments, based on sound environmental principles. Cities can be ‘smart’ only if the city is ‘Green’ and 'Resilient'.

The ‘Green Cities’ concept seeks at promoting an eco-friendly city that balances social, economic, and environmental dimensions, as well as good urban governance as its foundation. Also, one of the main concerns which needs to be stressed upon is optimal and efficient use of natural resources like water, energy and land. The concept encourages a multi-disciplinary, cross-sectoral approach with participation of urban planners, urban designers, engineers and architects to work in close collaboration with local government administration (municipal corporations, development authorities, smart city cells) and communities to ensure that integrated planning and design thinking is undertaken to conceive a city based on sustainable/ Green planning principles.

 To spread this concept further, IGBC is organising an 'Online Session on Green Cities' on 25 May from 2 pm to 4-30 pm. Request you to register through the appended link:
