Summary

This paper focuses on the Productive City, which has as its main guideline the respect for the environment and the adoption of a green footprint for the planet. Specifically, the basic concepts related to the Productive City and sustainability are analyzed as well as the importance of finding a better solution for the future of cities is emphasized. Then, certain strategies are presented that can contribute to the productivity of a city through green forms of energy and more generally by integrating greenery into the urban fabric. In addition, policy frameworks and incentives given by certain bodies to cities and citizens to adopt a greener behavior are analyzed. Moreover, two case studies of cities aiming for high productivity are studied, which utilize nature to achieve their goal while at the same time highlighting it and including it as part of them. The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, was chosen because it is one of the most innovative cities on this issue and the second city chosen is Trikala, which is a city that sets an example for the rest of Greece. Some proposals are also presented that contribute to the creation of such cities or practices for transforming current cities into the cities of the future. In addition, the challenges to create productive cities are presented, as achieving such a project is not an easy process. Finally, the study demonstrates the importance of changing the current city model to a fresher one that will have as its main goal the utilization of the environment but also its safeguarding for future generations.
