Sustainable Cities™ launches in Venice

The brand new Sustainable Cities™ database is launched at the 11th International Architecture Biennale in Venice.
 

The aim of Sustainable Cities™ is to inspire politicians, architects, city planners, businesses, NGO’s and citizens all over the world to learn from each other and to collaborate with each other to transform the worlds less sustainable cities into the more sustainable cities of future.

The Sustainable Cities™ database is sponsored by Realdania and created and operated by DAC Danish Architecture Centre.

Sustainable Cities™ collects and disseminates knowledge on cases and initiatives from cities all over the world. You will find descriptions to create better public transport, to optimize waste management, to reduce energy consumption, to manage waste water better and use the cleaned water to create new recreational activities for citizens in cities, and many, many other initiatives. You can read the cases, dive into the learning points, study the facts and watch images and films. New cases and new initiatives will continually be added to the database.

Sustainable Cities™ also provides information on how to improve sustainability through altered individual actions. It provides experts’ input on actions that may improve sustainability in cities significantly, and gives a rough outline of the development of the sustainability paradigm. In addition, you can contribute with your opinion on which challenges you consider most important to address in the struggle to create sustainable cities.

The next step of the Sustainable Cities™ database is to establish an online network for city planners and others interested in sustainable city development, where you can share projects, articles and debates on the subject.
