1. Create green spaces on rooftops: Adding vegetation to rooftops can help reduce the urban heat island effect, improve air quality, provide habitat for wildlife, and reduce stormwater runoff.

2. Build the apartment buildings taller and not very wide in order to minimize urban sprawl: By building up instead of out, the city planner can help preserve natural habitats, reduce the need for additional infrastructure and services, and promote more sustainable land use. This can help minimize the environmental impact of the apartment complex on the surrounding area.
