Establish a Sustainable Ecological City

Eco-city Declaration

Ecological Vision


Industry provides the irreplaceable impetus and unimaginable material wealth of the agricultural society. The changes and progress of the times make the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid development of human settlements. However, as a result of long-term development, it has caused global environmental changes and pollution that commonly occur in the world and indirectly threaten the living space of various living beings and ecosystems on Earth. The main problem is that the past cities paid more attention to the mode of economic development and it was easier to overlook the sustainable management of the eco-city environment, that the city must follow to pursue sustainable development. Therefore, after industrial civilization reached its highest achievement, it started to decline and ecological civilization was on the rise. All countries have also discussed and promoted the sustainable development of ecological environment. So they began to propose the vision of urban design and development for eco-cities:

Build Garden City


In modern times, urban design and planning and management in countries such as Europe and Asia attach great importance to the combination of natural ecology and urban areas, and integrate the concept of environmental planning and management to provide residents with bright sunshine, healthy air and park-like living environment. Green corridors not only enhance urban greening, but also provide recreational space, balance the overall hydrological system, enhance air quality, and adjust the climate in the area. All merits contribute to the development, beautification and convenience of the city.

Build Green Corridor


There is always a conflict between urban development and ecological environment. The construction of green corridor is one of the ways for eco-city to restore urban natural ecology. Urban green corridor not only has a protective effect on natural resources, but also meets the needs of human recreation and entertainment, as well as protects and restores valuable cultural resources, and plays a guiding role in the layout of urban space and the construction of ecological environment.

Build City Eco-park


Since the 20th century, ecological parks have been established to protect and repair regional ecosystems, establish artificial ecological communities, conserve biodiversity and provide places for education and recreation. We have established an urban ecological environment, in which people and nature coexist in harmony.

Cities That Promote Mass Transit Systems


In cities with developed traffic, people often have their own cars. The result of overuse of the car is air pollution and congested and obstructed traffic. In recent years, the government has been actively promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction. The purpose is to encourage more public transport to be used. The emphasis is on reducing the expansion of roads or highways and reducing the utilization of steam locomotives, then reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Bicycle Lane Construction


Bike lane emphasizes the combination of ecology and green space and encourages people to use non-steam locomotives and vehicles more. The use of "Green Internet" to build bicycle lanes can meet people's needs for recreational sports, and also combine local culture and features. Bicycle lanes have the protection of ecological and cultural significance by combining eco-cultural industries with the concept of human and ecological survival. For example, you can build a bike path along the riverfront. So we can guide people to use more non-carbon dioxide steam locomotive, and reduce the concept of air pollution.

Promote the Concept of Green Consumption


Green consumption means that consumers choose products that are less harmful to the environment when they buy the products. In other words, consumers consider the impact of production, transportation, marketing, disposal process, recycling degree, and product packaging on the ecological environment. The government should hold a wide-ranging course on green consumption and green industries to establish people's awareness of environmental protection and reduce consumers' purchases of products that are difficult to recycle or over-packed and reduce the total amount of waste. It is hoped that green consumer behavior will guide people's awareness of environmental protection of products they buy and change the production and sales characteristics of manufacturers and manufacturers to reduce pollution and garbage problems in the cities.

Cities should increase the density of green stores and encourage consumers to give priority to green products.
