As the world develops countries become more and more urbanized. And so populations become concentrated in urban areas. This leads to rapid urbanization, the influx of residents, and pollution increases in urban areas, particularly in terms of energy consumption, construction, traffic emissions. While Major Cities like Dhaka and Chattogram being some of the most densely populated areas in the country, other major cities are quickly catching up in terms of population density. In order to maintain an environment that is safe for the residents, these pollutants need to be kept in check. But that's a difficult task when the simple act of living in urban areas is the cause of the pollution.

The solutions for this can come from multiple avenues. Ideas for making Green Homes that help reduce emissions. New energy-efficient gadgets, fixtures, appliances and equipment reduces energy consumption. Lifestyle apps that help you cut down emissions in your everyday life. But these ideas also need to be user friendly so that the communities find them easy to use and collaborate and promote.

What’s needed right now is for new perspectives to bring in ideas on how to inject innovation into the industry to reduce emissions. In order for industry actors to more readily access and adopt these alternative procedures and technologies, they have to be customizable to suit their needs and provide incentives that would make them commercially more viable.

Objectives:

The core objective of the teams who pick the ‘Urban Life Solutions’ theme is to come up with innovative ideas/processes and technology which helps Urban residents, and communities at large help reduce emissions in a way that fits into their lifestyle.

• The output should include the definition and an explanation of the concept/idea and details on how people engage.
• Guidelines on what people would need to get the solution and how they would use it.
• Outline the key benefits for people who adopt it.
• What the ideal usage scenario would look like.
