PRE-SUMMIT: SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN
February 5, 2008
Whether you are new to the subject of sustainability, or simply want to learn more about the most current thinking on the subject, this one-day workshop will provide a concise review. Come just for the day, or as preparation for the Summit, as our speakers focus on systems, cities and sustainable mobility, and address the following questions:
- What are systems, and how do they behave?
- Can cities and communities provide a systems framework for sustainability?
- What mobility solutions fit the systems model?
- Can it work, and where is it being done?
Who should attend?
Students, faculty and professionals who are new to sustainability or are interested in learning more. Designers and practitioners who want to add valuable information to their ongoing study of sustainability, especially as it relates to mobility.
