The first approach is conservation, under which conservation of resources is necessary. This also includes reducing waste, repurposing and repurposing existing structures to help preserve the cultural identity of cities. Second, to collaborate with scientists and engineers.For example, cities need to collaborate with experts to develop new and more efficient construction technologies. India's population needs only 10 percent of the land area to settle and expand. Keeping this in mind, urban designers and architects can contribute to sustainable urban planning by designing sustainable, accessible and mixed-use structures. This will enable the development of public transport, pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and green spaces to reduce urban sprawl and promote efficient use of land.There is a need to give priority. Cities should focus on developing infrastructure, such as pedestrian and cycling, to promote non-motorized transportation in cities. Carbon emissions can be reduced. Our architects in the country already have a well-crafted agenda of sustainable design. This includes facilitating the movement of natural light and air in houses and buildings. It has now become necessary to construct such buildings, where energy consumption is low or energy is saved. Now buildings are renewableWill have to be adapted to energy sources. In a country like India, the use of mechanical air conditioning can be reduced by up to 85 percent.
