- **Event Description**: A talk with Prof. Nico Parker of the University of Oregon on the role of physical planning and design on global sustainability goalsAbout this EventAbout the talkDespite wide agreement about its role in overall sustainability goals, physical planning and design remain a complicated, largely fragmented field of practice. The diversity of issues, scales, disciplines, and contexts make it challenging to deliver integrated outcomes that measurably advance sustainability goals. To address this challenge, Prof. Larco will be presenting the Sustainable Urban Design Framework, a comprehensive approach to sustainable design, collecting current research and best practices from across the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, development, ecology, and environmental engineering.The framework organizes over 50 specific urban design elements across outcome goals and scales, and can be used to guide project decisions, evaluate current and proposed conditions, and to engage a variety of stakeholders. The Sustainable Urban Design Framework is the focus of the recently published Sustainable Urban Design Handbook, a graphically rich and easy to use resource for designers, planners, developers, elected officials, and community stakeholders.__________________________________________________About the speakerNico Larco, AIA, is an urban designer, architect, and Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Oregon, where he directs the Urbanism Next Center and co-directs the Sustainable Cities Institute.
