Abstract
The increasing threat for environmental attributes has led to the onset of adopting sustainability concepts. In India, much importance is not given on systematic community development, rather we are still reclined on conventional methodology that leads to stress on environment and resource depletion caused by various types of pollution and giving no scope for community development on a larger scale. The prime focus is to look into water management, rainwater harvesting, vertical growth and vertical farming, zero waste management, green energy usage, water source management, etc., and integrating all these on a site-specific scenario. Through this project, a self-sufficient and future stable community is being achieved by self-production of energy through available solar, biomass and other energy sources, and water demand is trying to be sufficed by different water conservation methods using the available water and providing a green corridor for community health.
