The Issues:
Urban Planning
Urban, city, and town planning integrates land use planning and transportation planning to improve the built, economic and social environments of communities.
Modern lifestyles use excessive natural resources, polluting or destroying ecosystems and contributing to climate change. Sustainable development is influencing today's planners and EcoFLight works with communities to further compact, efficient land use, the restoration of natural systems and a healthy social ecology.
