EXAMPLE

 

Future City Project: We are teaming up with Greenest City, a bold initiative to address Vancouver's environmental challenges. While we live in what is widely recognized as one of the most liveable cities in the world, our environmental footprint is currently three times larger than the Earth can sustain. How can we make our city a better place? Imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future that showcase your solution to a citywide sustainability issue. We will topics like stormwater management, urban agriculture, public spaces, and green energy. You will choose a topic that is important to you. Decide on an issue associated with your Future City topic and put a plan of action into place. What will you design to make the issue better? Your final designs will be presented to key stakeholders
