• List down what do you imagine about
sustainable cities?

A city designed with consideration of environmental impact,

inhabited by people dedicated to minimization of required
inputs of energy, water and food, and waste output of heat,
air pollution - CO2, methane, and water pollution.

The size of each bubble represents that country’s total greenhouse
gas emissions in 2000 (solid bubble) and its projected emissions in
2030 (translucent bubble) assuming the adoption of policies in the
pipeline. It represents the amount of CO2 that is emitted to move
one passenger or one ton of goods by one kilometer

 5 minutes class activity
- Choose a partner
- Choose one mode of transport (from walking,
cycle, motorcycle, car driver, car passenger)
- Suggest one contribution that should be done to
make the mode of transport that you had chose
to be sustainable.
- State on the white board according to the types
of transport mode.
- You can’t state the suggestion that has been
picked by the other groups.

• For example:
• Motorcycle – to make the motorcycle as a
sustainable transport, it is needed to provide
the special lane for motorcyclists to overcome
the motorcycle accidents.
• After all groups state the suggestions, we will
check the answer together.
