Sustainable City Design



This video is part of a series of videos on YouTube about sustainable city design. I believe that city design is going to be one of the keys in determining whether or not we can turn everything around. This talks about how the city has a high population density is in the center of town and along transit lines. This is very important in designing a sustainable city. What needs to happen is that we need to shorten the distance that people and things have to travel to get where they need to go. Travel and transport are two of the main contributors of carbon to the atmosphere. By designing our cities more effectively and with the environment in mind, we can make a major difference.
