Recompenses of a Green City: Integration of Natural environment in

city Planning
One of the main goals of nature conservationists is to protect expansive natural environments outside the city.
However, as the majority of the world’s population now live in urban areas, it is time to reverse this focus and
give some attention to the urban environment and the role of natural environments within the city.

Location, site and situation as factors contributing in localising, growth in size and function of a town are
important. In order to know the milieu of towns, other aspects which are equally important, rather more, in the
development of a town are site, the ground upon which a town stands, the area of earth it actually occupies and
its situation in relation to the surroundings.

The rapid urbanization in the developing economies of our globe has put up an alarming threat of sliding of our
cities towards unmanageable, bursting, hell of unliveable atmosphere. All these problems has certainly given
birth to a planner, but in shortage of proper planning legislations, strategies and tools, everything gets wasted.
Urban planning needs to better integrate natural values and ecological principles. Therefore, in this paper we’ve
tried to focus on three objectives: Firstly, to outline the reasons why natural environments are important in the
city; secondly, to examine why they have not been provided adequately in the past; and thirdly, to show how
this situation can used to illustrate the principles being discussed, and a case study is used be improved.

Throughout this paper, examples from various cities are for closer investigation. The paper also discusses the
possible ways of city design integrating the aspect of Natural environment into it.
