    Pakistan’s Green Urbanization in the Perspective of Ecological Civilization

    Within the context of ecological civilization, this study examines Pakistan’s path toward green urbanization. This study’s main driving force is Pakistan’s rapidly urbanizing landscape, which makes it imperative to address environmental degradation and advance sustainable development. A paradigm change towards green urbanization is required because of the multiple environmental difficulties brought about by urbanization in Pakistan, such as pollution, resource depletion, and habitat loss. This study examines the current status of green urbanization in Pakistan through a thorough analysis using a mixed-methods methodology that combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative evaluations. The findings show that, although there are regional variations in the extent of implementation, there is a growing consciousness of and desire to implement eco-friendly policies and practices within urban areas. Goals for green urbanization are seriously hampered by issues including poor infrastructure, scarce resources, and institutional capacity limitations. However, there are encouraging indications of development such as programs supporting green building techniques, sustainable transportation, and renewable energy. Beyond the confines of academia, the research has implications that teach stakeholders, legislators, and urban planners about the necessity of incorporating ecological principles into urban development initiatives. Pakistan can reduce environmental risks, increase climate change resistance, and promote inclusive, sustainable cities for future generations by adopting green urbanization.

    DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS OF A MOTORIZED AFIFIA (GRASS) LAWN MOWING MACHINE

    Afifia popularly called and known as grass were human laborious as it is cut by hand using scythes of sickles, lawn mower is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut the afifia (grass) surface to an even height. This research work is an extensions of the previous work. The goal remains the same: to efficiently and intelligently mow grass is an environment typically, the lawn mowing the machine uses laming techniques to accomplish its task. Technology has become more affordable and penetrate every aspect of daily life, even in developing country like Nigeria. However many of the users in developing countries are still finding difficulty in using then technologies due to lack of experience as they undergo a technology leap. The aim of this research work explores the approach on designing, development of a motorized Afifia (grass) mowing machine. This research was considered because of the unhygienic environmental conservation and its menace. An estimate of 20N was adopted as the required force to cut lawns. The result found from the design force of the Machine is 85% efficient based on the area mowed per hour which is 390.6m2
