Özet:

Today, the world is faced with global population growth and the consequent increasing pressure on the environment. Countries are trying to find alternative new approaches to sustainable development in order to get out of environmental crises as a result of both economic stagnation and global warming and climate change. In this context, green growth and green economy approaches are seen as practical tools that allow countries to directly reach sustainable development. Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities and the solution of negative environmental externalities on urban space becomes difficult. In cities, which are the driving forces of national economic growth, energy consumption and CO2 emissions are increasing, thus triggering climate change. In order to minimize these problems and to create a built environment worthy of human dignity, steps are taken towards green-based spatial development. It is thought that green growth strategies to be implemented in cities will play a key role in reducing poverty and ensuring social welfare. In this study, the concepts of green growth and green economy are explained on the scale of sustainable development and it is aimed to evaluate green growth strategies in order to create a sustainable environment in cities.
