The foregoing benefits of green cities are glaring and cannot be overemphasized. However, developing countries, especially in Africa, continue to be flooded with slums in cities and the discussion on green city growth seem elusive.
Green cities promote healthy living by enhancing air quality and protecting the environment through the promotion of a greener and healthier planet.
Therefore, it is vital for our cities and towns to function efficiently and to lessen the use of scarce natural resources through resource efficiency, and energy efficiency to promote the development of future green cities.
