The population is getting older and older. Moreover, the birthrate goes down, but don’t affect the increasing population. Couples and families have different backgrounds. As a result, cultures are mixing. This shows us that the living situation and need have changed. Flexibility becomes more desired. Therefore, very often people leave the city of their birth and move to a more modern city. They want to develop further. They want to get more of their lives. These are more often young people. Fascinated by the innovations and mobilities, which modern cities offer. The older ones very often can’t deal with mobility and want to be treated accordingly. A city always evolves and grows together. Especially since the population is getting older, it is important to integrate them into the new system. Training courses, where the new innovation is described and shown would be a lot of help for these people. Furthermore, with age, people give more attention on their surroundings. They start to seek more green. So, they often start garden work or to walk in the forest. Land use planning plays here also a big role. 

The people nowadays appreciate the environment more than before. Inhabitants think more “greener”. Large sections of the population are in favor of giving greater priority to environmental and climate protection in every area. 

The city wants to respond to the demands of society and therefore tries to find modern solutions. In general, the city should become greener. The open space should be made greener. Because nature serves as a counterpart to city life (cf.Dr.Barbara Hendricks,2015). Some people can only relax in nature. For some it offers the possibility to move and for others it is a place to meet new people (cf.Dr.Barbara Hendricks,2015). As our world is undergoing a digital transformation, the average worker spends a lot of time looking at a display. Workers in offices suffer from physical pain because they don’t move enough, or their mind suffers from sitting in a building for hours looking at a display. That’s why the urban green is becoming more and more important. It helps people to recover not just physically but also mentally, and to retreat from city life for a moment. For cities, this means that you have to change and move with the time. Protecting the environment and meeting the expectations of the inhabitants are their greatest goals.

The Urban citizen try to use more and more public transportation or car-sharing. Some also use the bike as a means of transport. Therefore, the urban areas also have roads for bikes. These are some examples to show, how far people already go to protect the environment.
