Urban planning strategies to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable development

Because of the limited natural resources of such energy, its negative impacts on theenvironment worldwide, and the danger to long-term sustainability, current patterns ofenergy usage (particularly those based on fossil fuels) create severe issues. An energyusage pattern that assures energy efficiency, safeguards environmental integrity, andupholds and strengthens our regional economy is required both legally and morally.The greenhouse gas (GHG) that drives climate change is a byproduct of humanactivity, making it anthropogenic (caused by people). ۶۰-۸۰% of the world's current۷.۳ billion inhabitants live in cities, which account for ۶۰% of global energyconsumption and at least ۷۰% of global greenhouse gas emissions. However, cities arethe root of global environmental issues like climate change, as well as the innovationhubs and labs to address their effects. Researchers, governments, and internationalorganizations are concerned about cities' resilience to these issues as a result ofclimate change, particularly in light of the patterns of energy production andconsumption that are contributing to GHG emissions. They anticipate that urbanresilience will serve as the driving force behind urban policies. One important elementin the fight against climate change is the widespread and efficient use of renewableenergy. Spatial tactics should support this, though. Urbanization is the most importanthuman Endeavour, as the world's population is continually expanding and moving intocities. In the developing world, the main urbanization initiatives are being carried out.As a result, while discussing urbanization, awareness to environmental concernsconnected to energy, efficiency, and sustainability becomes crucial. Although manyindustrialized nations have given this subject a lot of attention, most emerging nationshave given it little to no attention.
