Green Urban Development—Concepts and Praxis
- 1 Global Green Growth Institute, Kampala, Uganda
Abstract
This paper focuses on the green urban development paradigm. Its inspiration is the work of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). It cites perspectives developed by GGGI HQ in Seoul, Korea, enriched by its praxis in Uganda. The latter is through the European Union (EU) funded project, greening urbanisation and industrialisation (2020-24). The argument is in five sections, b eyond its introduction and conclusion. First ly is the green policy impac t with an urban bias. Secondly is the green practical impact, explicitly urban, from a responsive institutional perspective. Thirdly, the responsive description is taken to the smart city idea. Fourthly is infrastructure, specifically its sh aping or reinforcing urban form. Finally is superstructure—in this c ase, green buildings. Each section is offered as a step towards a greater appreciation and potential application of green urban development.
