Sustainable Cities
The Greens (WA) believe that cities and towns can be designed and built to minimise environmental harm and maximise social well-being. The ecological impact of Western Australian settlements must be reduced. New urban developments must be environmentally sound and public-transport friendly and they must facilitate community interaction. Planning should minimise urban sprawl. The avoidance of risk is the most cost effective way to prepare for impacts of climate change.
The full Greens (WA) Policy on Sustainable Settlements is available here.
