The aspect of sustainability, in reference to smart cities, is ideally about projects and the overall blueprint of the infrastructure planned. Apart from integrating sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the construction phase of a building, being an eco-friendly and sustainable township is also about using methods that help in overall energy efficiency and waste management. Efforts such as recycling of garbage, bio-composting, within housing societies, help further sustainability. The other focus is on harnessing wind and solar power to provide a part of power requirements.
