GreenCities Institute initiatives

A Global initiative to assemble, analyse, code, train and share a web based Knowledgebase to support Sustainable Habitat.

This initiative started at GreenCities conference in USA 2009. The initiatve welcome input and support from all interested. The knowledgebase classification and developement that started now requires more extensive data and knowledgebase build-ups and share from academia, industry, government and intertested NGOs.

The unified resource point is expected to grow and expand to developing nations, where a rapid industrial growth is underway, without adequate awareness on sustiainable industry practices. You may join the Business Action for Sustainable Development (BASD) at the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro. The BASD attempts to improve awareness and understanding on sustaiability leadership from the industries across nations.

We can collectively have that balanced growth and resource benefits, if we help, while help is required... that is now.

Engage in building a Future

Wider engagement in planning and development often helps to meet the last or first mile issues.

The engagements helps to start a development scenario or  conclude by usage/mis-use.

Providing a tangible framework for physical development requires extensinsive urban/regional planning knowledge/experience. All developments need professional groups with creativity, vision, experience and willingness to 'create', 'operate' and 'manage' the development.

The efforts to create the public good also require all essential management framework to sustain its operation and viability.

Are these places really provide us better habitats to work, play, educate and live ? [Quality of life]
