Tenth International Conference on The Constructed Environment

Abstract

We consider new approaches to harness renewable energy to develop eco-friendly smart cities equipped with eco-friendly transportation systems, clean drinking water, free of environmental pollution. We emphasize reduced emission through detoxification of toxic gases by chemical processes. Strategies to reduce emission of toxic gases and pollutants from vehicles as well as aircraft and ships responsible to pollute air, land, and seas resulting environmental pollution in totality are discussed. Innovative methods are to be found out by making use of non-conventional energy sources e.g., solar energy in particular, to innovate the technology for all kinds of transportation.The climate is getting adversely effected by toxic gases polluting the air to a very large extent. The Green House Gases (i.e., Carbon-dioxide , Methane, Nitrous oxide, Chloro Fluro Carbon) are responsible for air pollution. Air, in particular, affects health and results in climate variability. On 25 Aug’17, a report to counter the air pollution by the government of India think tank, National Institute for Transforming India, has recommended measures in its ‘Three Year Action Agenda’ to be implemented till 2019-2020.’Swachh Bharat’ (‘Clean India’) Mission and Solar India-2022-Capacity building are the two pillars for the establishment and sustenance of smart cities. It is paramount that the smart cities are to be designed in such a way that these are not only comfortable, approachable, full of job opportunities and urban amenities but, must be free of all kind of environmental pollution resulting in sustenance and reducing climate variability.
