THE CALL FOR THE GREEN CITIES
Abstract
Creation of Green Cities involves designing well ventilated houses, apartment blocks and buildings that welcome natural lighting and consume less electric power. Designing green cities is not at all difficult. By so doing you will be creating sustainable environment. This paper examines the current state of green cities and strategies to increase green cities. Data for the study were derived from primary and secondary sources. The poor quality of Nigerian urban environment has been attributed partly to the inadequate, misuse and mismanagement of urban open spaces. It exerts major strain on the physical outlook on the nation's cityscape and a negative effect on the welfare and productivity of the residents. The green cities have an important multifunctional role in improving the living environment: pollution control; water conservation; soil erosion control; diminishing bacterial impact on man and animals by purifying the atmosphere; mitigating urban climate; and improving the quality of urban living through the psychological and sanogenic effect. Green cities require a multidisciplinary and collective approach for it to succeed. Many agencies and ministries must come together to create green cities. On a large scale all the Nigerian people need to be mobilized to adopt life styles that promote sustainable cities development.
