INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is the capability to
be maintained at a certain level.
There are 3 principles of
sustainability. Those 3 include:
environmental, economic, and
social. This brochure
demonstrates the principles, and
a good understanding on how to
make your city sustainable.
ENVIRONMENTAL
ECONOMIC
TRACK AND PLANT A TREE
AGRICULTURE
Planting more trees is crucial for
our environment for the
following reasons:
- Provides oxygen
- Improves air quality
- Supports Wildlife
- ETC.
As you can see, trees are very
important to our environment.
To improve the population of
trees in our environment, a
great solution would be to
create a device or a system
informing citizens about this
issue. Melbourne, Australia has
created a website titled "Urban
Forest Visual", which allows
Australians to plant a tree, track
it, and share it on all social
media platforms. This is an idea
I approve of, and would love to
be apart of my city.
To make my city more
sustainable economically, I
would like to create an
agricultural environment. To do
so, my city needs to develop
more space for land, generating
sustainability. Creating land
space will lead to agricultural
opportunities which include the
following:
- Agricultural practices
- Local food producers
- Locally produced food
SOCIAL
EXTRA IDEAS
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
NATURE
Community engagement is a
relationship process which allows
people to expand their
relationships with citizens in their
community. There are many types
of community engagement. Types
which I would like to include in my
city are the following:
- Community Building
- Community Organizations
- Community Education
- Etc.
To make my city more
sustainable, I will encourage the
citizens to be as involved as
possible, to create a more liveable
environment for all.
Urban Growing:
- Rooftop Gardens
- Farmer's Markets
- Encouraging Children To
Learn How To Produce Food In
Schools
- Encouraging People To Grow
Gardens (backyard, etc.)
Create More Space For Nature:
- Improve Biodiversity
- Improve air quality
- Green Environment
COLLABORATION
- Create collaborative
partnerships to improve
collaboration for the community
- Encourages people to work
together rather than against
one another
CONCLUSION
As you can see, sustainability is
crucial to creating a better
environment for all. To
encourage sustainability in your
city, spread awareness and you
will make an impact in your city.

ourselves and our
environment as if we are to
