Sustainable Principles for Land DevelopmentMaria Cahill
Sustainable Principles for Land Development is a discussion of an array of approaches available to incorporate sustainability in site related issues. An ecological perspective approach that encompasses the impact of our current practices on air, water, and soil quality.
In today’s cities, both human accommodation and stormwater management are imperative, but their different requirements compete for the function and character of urban places. This paper explains examples of conflicts between them, and resolution of the conflict through integral design. The information is based on photographs and notes from approximately 1,000 stormwater facilities and urban sites collected during the last 35 years in North America and overseas, and the author’s experience on multi-disciplinary design teams.
