Abstract

In summary, our project considers that cities are important points where many people live and that they must be improved in order to make a significant change in sustainable development in order to give people a better lifestyle and efficient energy consumption and all in order to improve urban areas for society, Improve the economy and stability of our country and just as if society wants to make a change can make different proposals to improve their community and put it into practice.

We have the example of a sustainable city in Bogota Colombia that since 2000 has implemented a means of transport which is the "transmilenio" to transport more than 70% of the population of Bogota and has resulted in the annual reduction of about 350,000 tons of emissions, now the city is working on replacing the fleet of diesel buses by hybrid and electric vehicles with the goal of reaching 100% of the fleet in 2024. They are also thinking of another method of electric taxis and has committed to convert 50% of their taxis in the next 10 years.

Another living example of a sustainable city could be Melbourne Australia where they have created energy-efficient buildings, which have encouraged business owners to reduce the large waste of water and energy in their establishments, have set themselves the goal of reducing carbon emissions in the commercial sector by 25% and in the residential sector by 20%. The project defined as the 1200 buildings was designed to encourage the rehabilitation of 1,200 commercial buildings, 70% of the existing commercial buildings in total.

Through research, the city of Stockholm, capital of Sweden is ranked number two on the list of cities that maintain its sustainability, this due to its investment in sustainable infrastructure and dedication to reducing emissions of polluting gases, therefore, good air quality is one of its strengths.

Still ranked number four in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, this European city stands out in terms of equal pay, high educational and health standards, and low crime rates.
