Examination of the Concept of Green City in the Context of the Urban Qualities of Sarajevo

Abstract

Historically recognized as central hubs for population, culture, innovation, and governance, cities face challenges like climate crisis and pollution due to urbanization, necessitating a shift towards sustainability. The green city concept emerges to address this, focusing on efficient resource use and reduced pollution. This study examines Sarajevo through green city criteria, delving into its geographical, historical, and cultural dimensions. Pollution types are scrutinized for environmental impact. Findings drive recommendations for Sarajevo s evolution into a sustainable urban hub, emphasizing the broader importance of crafting resilient, environmentally conscious cities that prioritize resident well being and preserve resources for the future.
