These are outlined in this Chapter.:n essence, the )olar City program strives to integrate/nergy conservation measures to reduce the energy demand and

tiliHation of locally availa"le resources such as solar and other renewa"le resources tomeet these reduced energy demands.The strategy and action plan for solar city would encompass evolving action plans foruse of non$conventional energy resources. The solar city plan has "een conceptualiHedwith the o"jective of utiliHing solar energy to its optimum. )olar in this conteEt,encompasses all forms of renewa"le energy technologies 4solar, wind power, hydro$power, and certain forms of "io$energy5.

G! was planned as a city with low density and an eEtensive hierarchical par2 system. Thisis a Igardens in cities# approach. The time has come to evolve from a Igardens in citiesapproach# to a city whose internal landscape "lends seamlessly with the regional landscapesystem. The "iodiversity strategy, thus, proposes to "ring su"stantial area into the greenarea networ2, change the vegetation characteristics of eEisting areas insofar as possi"le,increase the foliage density within the area constraints with a view to
