Integrated Approach to Sustainable Urban Development for A Mixed Use Development

Abstract

This document highlights the importance of integrated approach to sustainable urban development for addressing the growing environmental challenges associated with rapid urbanization, such as depletion of natural resources, solid waste management, water contamination, air pollution and climate change. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for Mixed-Use development serves as a comprehensive framework for mitigating the potential environmental impacts of urban development while ensuring long-term sustainability. This plan emphasizes the integration of environmentally responsible practices across all stages of the project, from design, pre-construction phase, construction phase, post construction and operation of the facility. A key objective of the EMP is to minimize the environmental footprint of the mixed-use development by adopting energy-efficient building practices, conservation of natural resources, and incorporating waste reduction and reuse strategies. The successful implementation of the EMP will not only mitigate the environmental impacts but also demonstrate the potential for environmentally conscious urban development in mixed-use settings.
