Sustainable Cities

Project Description:

The main purpose of the Sustainable Cities project is to address two different cities in two different continents to enframe the discussion about constructing a sustainable future.

The goals of this project are:

1. To search for consilience of knowledge and to explore the role of ecology and ecologists in the design process.

2. To define ecologically-based criteria for sustainability so as to be able to better manage the evolution of our cities.

3. To apply the criteria of sustainability to cities as a way of understanding, evaluating and designing them.

4. To take advantage of the resources of the Landscape Architecture at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), and The Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros de Montes at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid to get academic support for this project.

5. To involve design and ecology students and faculties in both universities in the project, forging a new intellectual exploration.

6. To be the first project within a series to be presented at the Universal Forum of Cultures (Themes: diversity, peace, and sustainable communities) in Barcelona, Spain in 2004.

7. To disseminate the findings of the project broadly
