Science - Environment & Ecology / Sustainability
English term or phrase: *Greening* the Economy: Sustainable Cities
I'm translating a course on Coursera and that is the course name.

I haven't been able to find a suitable translation for the term "greening." The closest I could come is "sustentabilizando." Its acceptance is quite polemic, and if I used it, how should I translate "Sustainable Cities" as to avoid repetition?

All suggestions welcome. This is what I've thought of so far:
* Desenvolvendo a economia verde: cidades sustentáveis
* Sustentabilizando a economia: cidades ecológicas
* Ecologizando a economia: cidades sustentáveis
* Tornando a economia mais verde: cidades sustentáveis

Obrigada, Ana!

Ainda estou um pouco incomodada com o uso da palavra "ecologizar", mas acredito que essa seja a tradução mais adequada.
