- The goal is a city that can thrive for the long term.

Smart growth and greenbelts
- Smart growth 精明增长 builds up (dense, mixed-use) rather than out (sprawl).
- A greenbelt 绿带 is protected open land that limits outward sprawl.
- Both fight car dependence and protect farmland and nature.
精明增长与绿带
- 精明增长(smart growth)向上建(密集、混合用途)而非向外(蔓延)。
- 绿带(greenbelt)是限制向外蔓延的受保护开放土地。
- 两者都对抗汽车依赖并保护农田和自然。
Sustainable or unsustainable urban choice? · 可持续或不可持续的城市选择？
Sort each choice as making a city more or less sustainable. · 将每个选项分类为使城市更可持续或更少可持续。
Building a city dense and up rather than sprawling out is called... · 向上和向内高密度建设城市而不是向外蔓延被称为...
Smart growth builds up, not out, to fight sprawl. · 智慧增长向上建设而非向外，以对抗蔓延。
A greenbelt is protected open land that limits a city's outward sprawl. · 绿带是被保护的空地，可限制城市向外蔓延。
Greenbelts stop cities spreading into farmland and nature. · 绿带阻止城市向农田和自然区域扩散。
Match each term to its meaning. · 将下列术语与其含义匹配。
Smart growth = up; greenbelt = protect; green space = urban nature. · 智慧增长 = 向上；绿带 = 保护；绿地 = 城市自然。
Everyday sustainability
- Public transit, cycling, and walking cut emissions.
- Green space, recycling, and energy-efficient buildings help too.
- Sustainable design must also be fair — accessible to all residents, not just the rich.
日常可持续性
- 公共交通、骑行和步行减少排放。
- 绿地、回收和节能建筑也有帮助。
- 可持续设计还必须公平——对所有居民可及,而非只对富人。
True sustainability must also be socially , accessible to all residents. · 真正的可持续性还必须具有社会，让所有居民都能获得。
Sustainability balances environment, economy, and fairness. · 可持续性平衡环境、经济和公平。
Select all · 所有 sustainable urban strategies. · 选择所有可持续城市策略。
Transit, greenbelts, and efficiency are sustainable; car-only sprawl is not. · 公共交通、绿带和效率是可持续的；仅限汽车蔓延则不是。
Sustainability is not only about the environment — it also has a social side. A "green" project that pushes out poorer residents (green gentrification) is not truly sustainable. Real urban sustainability balances environment, economy, and fairness.
可持续性不只关乎环境——它还有社会的一面。一个把较贫穷居民赶走的“绿色”项目(绿色中产阶级化)并非真正可持续。真正的城市可持续性平衡环境、经济和公平。
A city adopts smart growth: it builds dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods near transit and draws a greenbelt around its edge to stop sprawl into farmland. People walk, cycle, and ride transit more, cutting emissions — a more sustainable urban form.
一座城市采用精明增长:它在交通附近建密集、混合用途的社区,并在边缘划一条绿带以阻止向农田蔓延。人们更多地步行、骑行和乘坐交通,减少排放——一种更可持续的城市形态。
Urban sustainability grows cities without wrecking the environment, balancing economy, society, and environment. Smart growth builds up not out; greenbelts limit sprawl; transit, cycling, and green space cut emissions. It must also be socially fair.
城市可持续性在不破坏环境的情况下发展城市,平衡经济、社会和环境。精明增长向上而非向外建;绿带限制蔓延;交通、骑行和绿地减少排放。它也必须在社会上公平。
