This paper focuses on the green urban development paradigm. Its
inspiration is the work of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). It cites
perspectives developed by GGGI HQ in Seoul, Korea, enriched by its praxis in
Uganda. The latter is through the European Union (EU) funded project, greening
urbanisation and industrialisation (2020-24). The argument is in five sections,
beyond its introduction and conclusion. Firstly is the green policy impact with
an urban bias. Secondlyis the
green practical impact, explicitly urban, from a responsive institutional
perspective. Thirdly, the responsive description is taken to the smart city
idea. Fourthlyis
infrastructure, specifically its shaping or
reinforcing urban form. Finallyis superstructure—in this case, green buildings. Each section is offered as
a step towards a greater appreciation and potential application of green urban
development.
