Think Wood’s Post

We are currently teaching in the context of an unprecedented world crisis: On all continents, cities and their natural settings are being devastated by the absence of basic planning and administrative controls, by political inertia, transactional economic relationships, generic design, and impermanent construction ... During their formative educational experiences, future architects, urbanists, and landscape architects are exposed to a critique of the processes and methods that have brought the cities of the world and nature to the precipice ... As citizens of the world, it is our moral imperative to engage in this critical conversation and take decisive action to create change. The future of our cities and natural environments depends on our actions today. Stand with us in the fight for a sustainable and prosperous world. https://lnkd.in/g4B7brXP
