GEOL 443 - Sustainable Cities and Landscapes3 Credit Hours
We examine the ecology of urban systems. Starting with an overview of basic ecological principles, we study how the emergence of cities has impacted natural systems and how this impact has accelerated. We focus on solutions, most notably the various ways that cities can be designed to reduce human impacts. The ultimate goal is to design cities to meet human needs while reducing the human footprint by increasing ecological functions.
