Green City Design
📋 What it is
Green design builds sustainability into the city itself — green roofs, solar power, transit and recycling woven into daily life.
🗣️ Coach says
The best green cities don’t make being eco-friendly a chore — they build it in. Solar on roofs, a tram you actually want to ride, recycling that’s effortless. Good design makes the sustainable choice the easy choice.

Build green in, so the eco choice is the EASY choice.

Some modern buildings have “living roofs” covered in plants that soak up rain, cool the building, and give bees a home.

It builds the green option in (easy recycling, good transit, solar) so the eco-friendly choice becomes the effortless default.
Design-shapes-behaviour is a powerful, transferable idea.
