Here is the abstract:
This research project aims to explore how the design of cities affects their
sustainability, resource management and community resilience. Through the analysis of several
case studies, this research will examine the current state of urban design and propose innovative
solutions to enhance the sustainability, resource management and community resilience of
existing and future cities. The research will draw upon a range of disciplines, including urban
planning, sociology, economics and environmental science, to develop a comprehensive
understanding of the complex nature of urban development and the implications it has on
sustainability, resource management and community resilience from then to now. The research
project will also include a detailed discussion of the challenges that cities face and the potential
solutions that can be implemented to improve the quality of life of their citizens. The results of
this research project will provide valuable insights and new ideas that can be utilized by urban
planners, policy makers and citizens alike to create better cities.
There is a file with info that I want to be included in the essay.
Here are some additional notes:
– Use first 4 cities I mentioned and find sustainable examples for those rather than other countries.
– Don’t limit yourself to those 4 places, but use them as a jumping off points. Here’s why we started off with these cities and expand. Get more info on them.
– A lot of cities are on the water.
– What makes actually good places to be and not just places people have been for a long time.
– Recent developments aren’t what makes cities cities necessarily, dig into the history.
– Do they hav zoning restrictions for how tall, zoning, districts. Started doing it for Amsterdam, but expand.
– Start producing visuals – found images
– Color coding images, diagrams, simple overlays related to initial notes.
– In the next coming weeks develop.
– Build up bibliography and image library.
– Material types over time period and on different surfaces.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! 🙂
