Description
This concentration centers on planning issues related to the sustainable development and optimal management of our natural resources, and in particular, problems associated with the sustainable interaction of built and natural environment in ways that preserve or restore the natural environment and improve the quality of life in cities and other developing areas. This includes policies to reduce urban sprawl, to encourage land conservation, and to reduce the impact from pollution and hazardous wastes. It also deals with techniques to assess environmental impacts, to derive the carrying capacity of land, and to model environmental systems in cities and regions.
