Green cities are about competitive spaces that provide a better quality of life, by defending and securing natural resources, ensuring Secretary of the Environment of the Federal District, Tanya Müller García.

Within the framework of Public Consultation Forum on Sustainable Economic Development , the official details that the green cities that have greater environmental services are those that have had the capacity to attract human talent.

The challenge of the Federal District is to become a green city, which promotes a good quality of life for its inhabitants. Therefore, it is important to design public policies and programs that guarantee it.

On the other hand, el Latin American Green Cities Index , created by the Economist Intelligence Unit and Siemens, details that urban growth has generated environmental problems, public transport, water quality, waste collection and public health.

However, why is it important to take care of green spaces and be a sustainable city?

Pollution, climate change and water quality directly influence the health of the inhabitants, so it is common to record gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, as well as a more depressed mood.

Even, a study of University of Queensland, Australia , highlights that natural areas improve physical and mental health, which promotes a better quality of life, free of stress and social violence.

In this way it is important to create green cities that conserve natural spaces, promote a better environment and take care of the health, happiness and quality of life of the people.

For example, in Mexico City, a Green Plan with 10 actions to face climate change, which includes actions such as transportation corridors, sustainable housing program, use of solar energy, green roofs and restoration of ecosystems. And you, what actions do you do to achieve a green city?
