Are you interested in sustainable development?  Want to learn more 
about Cambridge?  Want to learn more about Cambridge WHILE learning 
more about sustainable development?

Sustainable Cities: Cambridge 2020

Course description:
We will gather relevant and pertinent information about how Cambridge 
operates today - including, but not limited to: energy-use and CO2 
emissions, land-use, transportation, water, building standards, etc. 
In these same areas, we will collect information about 'best 
practices' - innovative and original ideas that have led to more 
sustainable cities around the world. 

The data collected about Cambridge will serve as the parameters 
and/or constraints for development.  The collection of 'best 
practices' will provide inspiration for creative thinking on the 
students' part.  Students will then work in groups - groups will be 
determined by similar interests of participating students.  Working 
both within their group - and with other groups - students will 
develop a vision of Cambridge 2020.

What will Cambridge look like 15 years from now?  What could it look 
like?  Help us find out.

When and where the class meets: 
Tuesday and Thursday for 90 mins.  The class will be highly 
interactive and around lunch time - feel free to bring your lunch. 
The first class will meet at 11:30AM on Tuesday January 6, 2004.  We 
will meet in 4-370.

See you on the 6th.
