SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN

My two primary learning objectives:

​

1) Understand the core concepts that underpin sustainable development, i.e. why resources are depleting or degrading? Does the way we design and build cities influence resource consumption?  What are the goals of sustainable development and new urbanism?

​

2) To improve your communication of the issues to motivate action and change
