Metropolitan Refill
The word sustainability and color green seem to appear on every corporate banner, private sector developer brochure and public sector community agenda. In many ways it is a direct growth of our understanding of one of the key tools needed to implement Smart Growth policies, reduce climate impacts and utilize limited resources wisely. This is a good growing global agenda that no city can afford not to join. But, is it enough to meet the tough city-building challenges that lie ahead? In the face of aging boomers, outdated bridges, failing water quality climatic impacts it using sustainability principles and other design and technological thinking to create resilient and flexible cities and neighborhoods.
