#green_technologies #urban_development #sustainable_cities
Green technologies are reshaping urban development by addressing environmental, economic, and operational challenges in cities. With growing populations and climate concerns, sustainable solutions such as solar energy, green roofs, vertical gardens, and smart grids play a vital role in improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing air quality. These innovations not only promote ecological well-being but also foster economic growth through job creation and cost savings.
Despite their benefits, integrating these technologies faces technical and financial challenges, such as compatibility with existing infrastructures and high upfront costs. However, government incentives and innovative financing models can help overcome these barriers. Real-world applications demonstrate how cities are adopting green technologies, leading to more resilient and livable urban environments.
Looking to the future, advancements like biodegradable materials and energy-storing bricks are expected to further revolutionize sustainable urban planning. Encouraging stakeholders at all levels to invest in green technologies is essential for building cities that can thrive while preserving resources for future generations.

About this author:
Allison Scollar is a New York-based sustainable energy consultant who collaborates with developers and municipalities to reduce carbon footprints. She previously had a successful career as a real estate attorney at Gold Scollar Moshan, managing real estate transactions and supporting cultural initiatives. In addition, she served on the board of the Concert Artists Guild, helping young musicians launch their careers.
Allison’s personal life took a challenging turn when she became involved in a high-profile custody battle with her former partner, Brook Altman. After a traumatic cross-country kidnapping incident and over 180 court appearances, Allison was awarded sole custody of her daughter, Harrison, in 2012. The case was significant for both LGBTQ+ and adoptive parents, but it marked the beginning of years of legal struggles, including extortion attempts and false accusations against Allison.
Following these events, Allison shifted her focus to advocacy and community service. She joined the RETI Center, where she helps low-income communities access green jobs, and remains active with organizations like PowerPlay NYC and Pen Parentis. Allison is also an avid hiker, boxer, and volunteer, participating in projects like God’s Love We Deliver.
Allison is now sharing her experiences through her forthcoming book, In Her Best Interests: How Family Court Destroyed Our Family (And How You Can Keep It From Destroying Yours), offering insights into the biases of the family court system and practical advice for other parents facing similar challenges.
