I've been involved in the design of a green neighborhood in my city [1][2]. We spent quite some time taking in account as much considerations for sustainability and integration with the environment. It wasn't easy, at all. The hardest part, still fully unsolved, is operating with current legislation and outdated city planning rules. Those normatives revolve around high density and cheap development. Nature takes space and efficient buildings are expensive so housing constructors will have a hard time buying into the green zone.
Efficient city planning is not easy, and requires well intended coordination on many fronts.
On the other side I'm personally convinced closeness to nature is a life saver on many aspects so renewing those policies is a battle worth having.
