Explanation / Answer
Solution 1/Smart Growth Tool 1
Solution 2/Smart Growth Tool 2
Limits and Regulations
Ecology Protection
Planning the city around its natural reserves like lakes, mountain range, rivers and forests and even its marine life. This is will ensure that every city will work on its advantage and the natural reserves will themselves become highlights for tourism while being an integral part of the day to day life of the locals.
Protecting the wildlife of the place and inviting active volunteer work and reaching out to schools and even workplaces in the city to educate the locals on wildlife preservation and conservation of their natural habitat.
Taxes and Tax Breaks
Introducing tax benefits for those who work towards preserving the ecology of the city by volunteer work and also for energy-efficient industries and companies that will create a sustainable work place and provide maximum employment to the locals of the city.
Introduction of tax slabs that make sure the strata of the society earning a bare minimum, will not be burdened by tax. Giving benefits to the middle and high class who power the net income of the city- especially the entrepreneurs and business class who enhance export and trade relations internationally and add to the economic wealth of the city.
Urban Poverty
Providing basic amenities of food, clothes and shelter at an affordable rate by feeding the self -sustenance model of the city. This can be possible by boosting agriculture, industries and civil planning optimally with the help of new technology.
Promoting the idea of “quality over quantity” and buying locally made goods rather than fall prey to commercial ideal standards of consumerism. Promoting the idea of income management for the working class.
Waste and Pollution Management
Developing water purification plants in the city and avoiding toxic disposal into the waters of the city by monitoring industrial waste. Reaching out to the locals to enhance habits of cleanliness and use of recyclable materials. A ban on sub-standard varieties of plastics will be helpful.
Promoting the use of public transport over private modes of transport and investing in developing public transport modes that run on electrical energy. This will ensure a minimal pollution from vehicles. Reaching out to industries to ensure a minimal emission of toxic gasses and developing technology that will embrace a greener approach.
Revitalization and New Growth
Investing in the development of sophisticated technology that would improve the lifestyle, health and standard of living. This includes taking active interest in everything from smart farming, irrigation, medicine, transportation, water purification and waste management.
Creating a holistic environment for future generations and reinforcing the idea of sustenance in the form of education from an early age.
Import of Food and other Commodities
Promoting self-sustenance and consuming only locally grown produce. Investing in greenhouses and also promoting the idea of sustainable gardening in individual homes. If planned well, special provisions for individual homes who want to create their own vegetable gardens and orchards, will help to create a more wholesome idea of “eat what you grow”.
Restricting the need to import food only if the city is incapable of growing its own food. For the luxury of growing produce that is not local, investing in creating varieties of the plants in special environment in the city itself, will be helpful.
Public Transport and Car Dilemma
Providing sophisticated, low emission public transport with economic rates will help to shift the mode of transportation from private vehicles to public modes of transport.
Cars which are outdated and have high emission of toxic gasses, should be banned while cleaner models of cars need to be introduced at affordable rates to the public. Car sharing between individual who work at the same place, promotes a lesser number of cars on roads while reducing the pollution on a local scale.
Note: “Limits and Regulations” – this point is very vague and hence not answering it.
