1 - Abundant parks.
are the lungs of the city. From the Renaissance "Giardino della Guastella of Milan's recent" Discovery Green "in downtown Houston, the parks provide a place to breathe, relax and connect with nature, and counteracting the effect of" heat island " caused by the tarmac, acting as natural water collectors.

6 - comprehensive program recycling and composting
