Abstract

Eco-city is an environmentally sustainable city in managing the limited natural resources for existing and future generations. Its primary aim is to minimize the damages to the eco-system while maximizing benefits to the human population. Some of the notable targets to achieve eco-city include: reducing pollution, limiting environmental damages, preserving open and green spaces, utilizing renewable energy, conserving energy consumption, maintaining water bodies and so on. However, it is highly challenging to attain eco-city status especially in developing economies as population and demand for infrastructure and facilities has been growing steadily in urban areas.
