Green City Development Tool Kit
Lewis, Emma | September 2015
Abstract
The term “Green City” has many different meanings to different people. There is no universal solution that
can be applied to every city. Adaptable, responsive, and innovative solutions that differ from one place
to another enable Green Cities to emerge in various forms and enable us to recognize the variation and
dynamism of cities. This tool kit is a reference for Asian Development Bank staff, consultants, and city
leaders that introduces key concepts of Green City development and identifies crosscutting issues that help
in designing urban programs to support city development in a green and sustainable manner.
