URBAN STRATEGIES FOR DECREASING OUR ECO-FOOTPRINT

THE FIVE ECO-FOOTPRINT PARAMETERS
# mobility
# services
# shelter
# goods
# food

ASPECTS TO IMPLEMENT TO DECREASE FOOTPRINT
# increase local bio-capacity
# enable use of nature services as much as possible
# visualization of the food cycle- "from field to fork" and facilitate for a "hundred mile diet"
# focus on green for production and green for "urban wilds"
   Establishing areas for urban wilds attracts birds, bugs and animals so that they don´t feed on the crops
# education - networking
# pedestrian accessibility
# densification of central areas to minimize travel time
# zero emissions building - ZEB / + housing
