Ecological Land-Use
Examples of this pattern in action:
Urban Ecology Design Collaborative
Urban Ecology Design Collaborative is an innovative association of planning and design professionals who specialize in offering ecologically-based design services. Urban Ecology includes architects, designers, environmental planners, landscape architects and engineers who are committed to finding comprehensive solutions to design challenges that are derived from a thorough understanding of a project's social, economic, technical and environmental issues. We believe that what makes our approach distinct is a unique combination of professional expertise focused on reconciling development pressures with the emerging environmental challenges facing our society.
