Urban green planning example – UGC NET Question

Urban green planning involves designing and managing vegetation,parks and green corridors to enhance environmental quality and livability in cities. Street tree plantations directly contribute to this goal by improving air quality,providing shade and mitigating noise. The stem describes exactly such activities,so “green” planning is the correct term. Therefore Option D is appropriate.

Option A:
Industrial planning focuses on industrial location and development,not on integrating vegetation for ecosystem services in cities.

Option B:
Transport planning addresses mobility networks; tree planting can support it but the activity described is primarily about greening and ecosystem benefits.

Option C:
Energy planning concerns supply and demand of energy systems,not roadside tree programmes for pollution and shade benefits.

Option D:
Green planning explicitly integrates natural elements to improve air quality,shade and noise reduction,matching the example in the stem.
