Spring 2015 Design Studio Review

Urban Climate Lab

The goal of this design laboratory is to explore integrated, urban design and planning strategies for creating sustainable and resilient communities that can adapt and thrive in the changing global conditions, meet carbon-reduction goals, and sustain urban populations in more compact settings by providing amenities that people need and want.
