Gallery FeedRoundtable Event - Two Perspectives of Sustainable City Development
A roundtable event of two perspectives of Sustainable City Development was held in the Institute Building of the United States Studies Centre. Martha Schwartz, Ray Nagin and Edward Blakely attended. They discuss the sustainable city, and how it can feed itself with minimal reliance on the surrounding countryside, and power itself with renewable sources of energy. The crux of this is to create the smallest possible ecological footprint, and to produce the lowest quantity of pollution possible, to efficiently use land; compost used materials, recycle it or convert waste-to-energy, and thus the city's overall contribution to climate change will be minimal, if such practices are adhered to.
