The city planner can minimize the human impact of the apartment complex on the environment by incorporating green spaces and planting trees to promote a healthier and more sustainable living environment for residents. Additionally, the planner can incorporate sustainable features into the complex such as solar panels, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and energy-efficient appliances to reduce energy consumption and waste.
