Cities are engines to economic growth.
Cities are also competitive as they compete the same market space.
Green House Gases (GHG)
Green House Gases (GHG)
Type of Green House Gases in the Atmosphere
GHG – a greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.
Cities/Urban Areas and GHG
Building sector represents 40% of the world’s energy consumption and contributes to one-third of GHG emissions.

TOWARDS GREEN AND SUSTAINABILITY
Introduction of Low Carbon Cities In Malaysia
The development of Low Carbon Cities in Malaysia is still quite new
where it requires an active promotion and uses of green
technologies and sustainable method in the
development and operation of a city.
The framework and planning should involved all key stakeholders.

Sustainable Framework for Green Cities & Townships
Low Carbon City is a place where people want to live and work, now and in the future.
They meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents, are sensitive to their environment, and contribute to a high quality of life.
They are safe and inclusive, well planned, built and managed, and offer equality in opportunity and good urban services for all.
