Establish a Sustainable Ecological City
Professor Lin Zhengyi recommends another eco-city ~ New York City with 8 million people. Because in December 2006, New York City Mayor Bloomberg announced the PlaNYC project to make New York a sustainable city so that New York City could become the "greenest" city by 2030. Under the planning of the municipal government, 500,000 trees were planted in the urban area, traffic signs and streetlights were replaced with energy-saving lamps, the promotion of official vehicles used alternative energy, the legislation to encourage existing buildings to improve energy-saving benefits, and the introduction of " Public bicycle program "and" green space, green roofs and rooftop solar power projects. "
~ New York Mayor Bloomberg said: "As long as we focus on the sustainable development, future history will give us a good evaluation." From living, housing, to the workplace, green city building, is to create the treasure of life left for the offspring. New York City's green program promotes a healthier city for the next generation. ~
There are many high-rise buildings in New York, but the building is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Building Code, which took effect in New York City in 2007, stipulates that most urban buildings and renewal plans must meet green building standards. New York's first green building skyscraper Hearst Toweropened in 2006. Many wonderful ideas of Hearst Tower are the model of future energy-saving skyscrapers, such as the building of the circulating cold water pipes, which significant saves in air-conditioning costs, and the use of recycled rain, which directly reduces energy consumption by 25%. And 80% of this steel-based building is made of recycled steel. In June 2009, New York City announced that in the future there will be millions of buildings that will be converted into energy-efficient buildings.
New York City's Green Building Code states that most urban buildings and renewal plans must meet Green Building standards.
New York started the solar program.
Gandhi Airport in New York City will be equipped with geothermal power generation, and it will save energy equivalent to reducing 820,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.
New York City is preparing to significantly improve its transit capacity for mass transit, including improving the quality of service for mass transit, expanding service coverage, promoting cycling and taxing traffic congestion. In 2008, the New York City Department of Transportation proposed the Sustainable Streets project, which includes 164 action options such as the select bus service, Green Light for Midtown, complete bicycle lanes, increase the community's public square and more. In the future, more car-sharing programs within the Ministry of Transport will be developed, as well as cities like Paris to follow the example of expanding public bicycle rental services. New York City Department of Transportation official car using car sharing program. During office hours, 25 cars will be used by departmental public servants. At night and on weekends, there is a general public participation program. In addition, the cars used are low-emission hybrid cars, as well as small van and motorhome. It is hoped that through this project, the department's carbon footprint and parking space will be reduced and more people will be encouraged to participate in this environmentally friendly and money saving project.

According to a study released by the New York City government in 2009, the existing wetlands in New York are much polluted and functionally degraded and may be damaged by the impact of rising sea levels or storm runoff. New York City lacks a complete low-lying land management policy. Mayor Bloomberg pointed out that "many New Yorkers never know that there are over a thousand acres of wetlands in New York. Wetlands are sound ecosystems with important climate-regulating functions such as filtering pollutants, regulating stormwater runoff, absorbing carbon dioxide and Mitigating storms and so on. " So Bloomberg hopes to learn from the Environmental Protection Agency's early experience with the Staten Island Bluebelt project to save more of the smaller wetlands in New York City. The Staten Island Blueprint Project is a storm management program started in 1990 by the New York Environmental Protection Agency and has so far covered over one third of Staten Island's land area, including streams , ponds and other wetland areas. All are classified as areas of the Bluprint Project for stormwater management, while protecting wildlife habitats.
The New York City government has worked hard to improve the conservation and preservation of wetlands.
