Regenerating Essential Goods and Services in Urban Landscapes

Sustainability Through Ecological Design

Beschreibung

How do we provide for and nurture millions of people without destroying the planet in the process? Urban landscapes can provide part of our energy needs, help cool our buildings and public spaces, help us make the most of our precious water, combat air pollution, and reduce the likelihood of allergies and asthma.
