In the world, urban development has become part of socio-economic development of each country. Specifically, cities are the main sources of environmental pollution due to increased production and consumption, transportation use, etc. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 11 (to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable), the Green Economy concept has been recently introduced by the Kyrgyz government with support of international development projects. In terms of urban planning, during the roundtable how to make cities and urban communities sustainable are to be addressed by providing the good examples of sustainable cities over the world. At paper there are a lot of innovative approaches covered such as green buildings, solar farms, public green places, waste management, but there are no practical actions towards from governments and social communities. So the discussion of the issues related to sustainable cities and communities and a further joint action plan are considered to be proposed, as well a creation of sharing knowledge and skills platform with international community in sustainable cities is to be designed. In the Kyrgyz Republic there are a few successful cases like a fighting against air pollution between the city administration and NGOs, not joint efforts to solve this environmental issue.
