Abstract:
Urban planning is a set of measures, guidelines and suggestions for improvement and unification of economic, social and sustainable development of certain areas. Planning in the modern era, accompanied by a number of bad consequences, has led to a steady rise in consumption of natural resources used to build traffic and utility infrastructure and expansion of settlements. Insufficient care of man for environment and ecosystems caused the emergence of large-scale climate change and global warming. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in urban planning represents a new approach to planning, which enables use of renewable energy sources. The main goal of LEED technology is the protection and improvement of the environment, through the creation of modern and energy-independent urban space. In this paper, using the methods of description and comparison, as well as case studies of some examples, the possibilities offered by green building will be shown.
