This book of Eco-City Tools covers 11 sectors that represent those priority sectors which the Ministry of Housing, Urban-Rural Development (MoHURD) has identified for its eco-city development work, namely: (i) eco-city development through compact urban development, (ii) clean energy, (iii) green building, (iv) green transport, (v) water management, (vi) solid waste management, (vii) urban renewal and revitalization, (viii) municipal finance, and (ix) green industries.
Tools based on a vast amount of background materials. The elaboration of this book was preceded by the formulation of nine position papers on the same sectors. These position papers do have a very broad coverage and large amounts of detail. This book is an exercise to distill primary tools from the vast scope of topics and instruments available for each sector.
