Summer Institute in Sustainable Urban Design:
Natural Systems and the Built Environment
July 18-23, 2010
Vancouver, Canada
Institute Overview
As the pace of planetary urbanization accelerates, the impact of buildings, neighbourhoods and cities on economic prosperity, social and cultural well-being, and environmental health is becoming better understood. What is less understood is how to integrate a holistic natural systems approach into urban design as a fundamental mechanism for achieving sustainability.
The UBC Summer Institute in Sustainable Urban Design is an inspiring week-long event designed for professional architects, landscape designers, urban planners, developers, government policy makers and project managers. Participants develop a rigorous and practical understanding of how to incorporate and implement sustainability concepts into the planning and design of buildings, neighbourhoods, cities and regions.
This is your chance to partake in an intensive and intimate educational experience that will leave you better prepared to take sustainability to a whole new level.
