SLIDE 2 Strategies for Sustainability: Integrating Landscape and Architecture to make cities
- delightful. 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 for shade, green roofs, green corridors, reduce paving 3. Reduce Pollution 1.
- Recycle. Control sources for pollution, Regulate emissions, find
alternatives to polluting substances. 4. Conserve Water 1. Return rainwater to ground (permeable paving). Native landscaping requires less irrigation. Reuse gray water. Treat sewage to high degree. 5. Conserve Wildlife 1. Protect wildlife habitat. Habitat corridors through city. Design habitats for native wildlife (parks for animals and people)
