Sustainable Urban Design: A Comprehensive Approach
CM 1.5, SR 1.0
Online
Sustainability at the urban design scale has garnered increasing interest over the past few decades but remains a complicated area of work and a largely fragmented field without a unified approach. The wide range of scales, disciplines, and areas of expertise involved in sustainable urban design has made it difficult to understand and to apply in real-world projects.
Nico Larco, Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Oregon, will present the Sustainable Urban Design Framework, a new, comprehensive approach to sustainable urban design built from current research and best practices from across the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, development, ecology, and environmental engineering. The framework organizes over 50 specific urban design elements in relation to five sustainability-focused outcomes and four scales of intervention.
The Sustainable Urban Design Framework is the focus of the recently published Sustainable Urban Design Handbook, a graphically rich and easy to use resource for designers, planners, developers, elected officials, and community stakeholders.
