Climate Change
- Address the urgent need to mitigate and adapt to the global climate change and advance efforts to a net-zero future. This involves strategies to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the city’s resilience against climate impacts
- Shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower, and promote energy efficiency in buildings, sustainable transportation, and smart grids to reduce carbon footprint
- Design and strengthen infrastructure to withstand climate threats, such as blue-green infrastructure for flood management
Nature Integration
- Weave natural systems into the urban fabric to restore ecological balance and enhance human well-being, making the city more livable, resilient, and sustainable
- Restore and protect nature ecosystems within urban areas including green and blue infrastructure and integrating habitats into architecture and public spaces to improve biodiversity and the environment
Inclusive Design
- Create spaces and systems in the built environment that are universally accessible for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, focusing on human-centric needs and anticipating future demands
- Consider the needs of current users and diverse populations, ensuring buildings and spaces can adapt and evolve with changing requirements
- Identify spatial circulation needs and ensure seamless navigation, which may include the use of specified finishes, clear signage, and interior design to support user wayfinding and choice, alongside managing facility operations to ensure inclusive operations
