Event Description
Now more than ever, a comprehensive approach to development is necessary for the creation of sustainable and resilient developments.
Every development, be it an urban core, town, or neighborhood, is made viable through certain basic characteristics. Though these characteristics have been articulated in various ways over the years, perhaps the most effective summation is The 8 Cs: Compact, Complex, Complete, Connected, Convivial, Conserving, Cost-Effective, and Co-Designed.
