city with some definite criteria which would help us to label it ‘eco-friendly’ in
conclusive terms. If on the other hand the city is not an eco-friendly one, analyze the
reasons why it is not so and characterize it such that we may examine the planning
means by which it may be made an eco-friendly. And that has exactly been done in
