There are several benefits of developing Eco-cities which among other things, are largely green and eco-friendly. These include efficient land-use, habitat preservation and restoration, effective transport management and energy efficiency, efficient use of resources, emissions and pollution control and enhanced quality of life for the occupants.
An eco-city is a city built off the principles of living within the means of the environment.
The ultimate goal of an eco-city is to eliminate all carbon waste, to produce energy entirely through renewable sources, and to incorporate the environment into the city; however, eco-cities also should stimulate economic growth, reducing poverty, organizing cities to have higher population densities, and therefore higher efficiency, and improving health.
