The planning of cities to operate optimally does not start from outside in, but rather from inside out. This means that for cities to operate with low carbon emissions and become sustainable cities, there is a need to ensure that each building is designed to be optimal in carbon neutrality. Collectively, these buildings form sustainable precincts which in turn form sustainable cities. This presentation discusses the strategies that could be adopted for such cities as a whole, and also highlights salient design changes that buildings need to go through, both in design thought leadership and the use of Passive and Active Technologies.
