Urban environments evolve and change over time. The concern for designing sustainably involves investment in more than just an urban environments infrastructure. Designing sustainable neighborhoods, or EcoDistricts, in existing urban environments helps to encourage and support large-scale sustainable design projects and initiatives. Decisions made to help connect Open Space, Buildings, Energy, Water, Waste, Transit, People, Habitat and Health support the EcoDistricts’ development. An analysis of planning and urban design processes for EcoDistrict implementation in existing neighborhoods will give insights into the potential opportunity for sustainable urban design projects and initiatives. |
