As part of its Urban Infrastructure Initiative, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has released its latest report on Yixing, a city of 1.25 million inhabitants which was selected as the pilot city for China. The Urban Infrastructure Initiative was launched by the WBCSD in 2010 to provide an interdisciplinary team of experts from industry who would work with city officials to assist with infrastructure development in the city. The report outlines wide-ranging solutions, covering energy and transport, integrated under an overall approach to urban planning in the city. Two issues were singled out for immediate action on sustainable urban planning: rational land use and appropriate urban structure; and protected ecological and cultural assets through compact mixed-use urban design and green infrastructure.
