Abstract
In the pursuit of manifesting Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) set in 2015 by the United Nations, this study attempts to consolidate Goal 11 Sustainable cities and communities through demonstrating a green footprint calibration and enrich urban green infrastructure based on carbon footprint per capita. Carbon Emissions is an escalating issue due to the increasing over population and rapid urbanization. It endangers urban health and contributes to the spread of chronic diseases such as asthma, headaches and vulnerable immune systems. Conceiving green footprint correspondent to carbon footprint does not only convey a pragmatic manifestation of urban health, it also enhances urban thermal comfort. No doubt that one of the main causes of Urban heat island phenomena is the Glass House Gases (GHG). Carbon Sequestration is the main concern of this research utilizing urban thermal comfort indices like PET, UTCI and OutSET while simulating Trees as one of the green infrastructure elements.

Urban Health is a controversial approach to Architects, Urban Designers and citizens
Urban Health factors have been emphasized by World Health Organization (WHO); World Health organization as follows;
A condensed amalgamation of divers uses that captures visitors and residents and emphasize the solid manifestation of city center. Natural environments in this urban fabric can be revitalized through endorsing green infrastructure elements to rejuvenate urban health of a crowd, densified and multi-use urban spaces
Summary
Urban Health is a controversial approach to Architects, Urban Designers and citizens. Builders replace the living with the dead for human to host their intimate spaces City centers are another artificial system that require an eco-character to function ‘green’ and to support healthy environment. This research encapsulates green elements influence as a natural environment into a new city center as a built one. This city center has become vital, crowded and vulnerable. A condensed amalgamation of divers uses that captures visitors and residents and emphasize the solid manifestation of city center Natural environments in this urban fabric can be revitalized through endorsing green infrastructure elements to rejuvenate urban health of a crowd, densified and multi-use urban spaces. Vegetation and water bodies, known as green and blue infrastructure can be an important strategy for shaping sustainable and resilient cities as illustrated by Ahmed Ayad 2019 [4]
