Strategies for Sustainability: Integrating Landscape and Architecture to make citiesdelightful. The more livable our cities, the more sustainable they can be.
1. Conserve Energy
1. Cities: Reduce automobile use, Build compact cities, Public transit,pedestrian environment
2. Buildings : Insulation, orientation, passive and active solar energy.Daylighting. Shading, Sustainable sources of materials
2. Reduce Heat Island effect
1. Bring landscape into city for shade, air quality and delight. Plant trees forshade, green roofs, green corridors, reduce paving
3. Reduce Pollution
1. Recycle. Control sources for pollution, Regulate emissions, findalternatives to polluting substances.
4. Conserve Water
1. Return rainwater to ground (permeable paving). Native landscapingrequires less irrigation. Reuse gray water. Treat sewage to high degree.
5. Conserve Wildlife
1. Protect wildlife habitat. Habitat corridors through city. Design habitats fornative wildlife (parks for animals and people)

Urban Heat Island
Hotter in city because of pavement and buildings that absorb heat during dayand re-radiate it at night.

Here’s how it works

Solar panels provide shade for roof terraces

Nice place, very expensive

No solar panels, but here are same principles of shading,open terraces, social space and trees make a nice place,built by people who have very little money.
