Urban Architecture | Urban Planners of Earth; We Need to Talk

If we are going to get serious about cutting down on the CO2 emissions and urban heat to slow the so-called Global Warming impending disasters then we need to get together and talk about how we design our cities and how humans live in these urban settings.

We need to discuss the saving of energy and even perhaps the coating of roads and design cities to be efficient without traffic bottlenecks which makes surface transportation idle and put endless CO2 into the air. What we need is to get serious and the sooner the better.

What Can You Do?

Good question, why not try living a carbon free life. Consider how much CO2 you are responsible for? You own an SUV, better get off your butt and plant four trees please. Look around your home and by efficient lighting and pay attention to your appliances too; may as well save some water too while you are at it.

What Can Planners Do?
