Presented the information on the best international practices in green technologies, in particular the green economy of Germany, Singapore and France, the construction of modern infrastructure, transport management, and smart cities.
According to S.Abasova’s opinion, green cities use modern digital technologies to manage communications and public transport. In green cities, only allowed public transport, cycling and electric cars. Greening of large cities of Azerbaijan, first of all, increase of green belts, creation of new parks; sorting of household waste; applying to public transport to protect the atmosphere from carbon dioxide emissions; ban on the use of private cars in the city on certain days; may occur on the basis of cooperation with the population and local authorities. The application of the experience of green cities in our country is possible only if such cities are created from scratch by attracting large funds from foreign investors and government subsidies. Green cities differ from other cities in that the population makes joint decisions with local authorities on various types of governance.
