Ecological urbanism is a project started at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. [1] [2] The book, Ecological Urbanism, edited by Mohsen Mostafavi with Gareth Doherty, was published in 2010 by Lars Muller Publishers. It follows a conference, and exhibition in 2009.[3] In many ways, the project is an evolution of, and a critique of, Landscape Urbanism, arguing for a more holistic approach to the notion of sustainable cities. The book has a massive list of contributors, including Rem Koolhaas, Homi K. Bhabha, Mitchell Joachim, and about 130 others. According to Architecture Today, the book is "one of the few books that recognises and articulates how, if this systems-based approach is to be successful, it needs to design, integrate and express complex systems and social processes in ways that are fundamentally humane."[4]
From the Ecological Urbanism website: "While climate change, sustainable architecture, and green technologies have become increasingly topical, issues surrounding the sustainability of the city are much less developed. The premise of Ecological Urbanism is that an ecological approach is urgently needed as an imaginative and practical method for addressing existing as well as new cities.
Ecological Urbanism considers the city with multiple instruments and with a worldview that is fluid in scale and disciplinary focus. Design provides the synthetic key to connect ecology with an urbanism that is not in contradiction with its environment. The book brings together practitioners, theorists, economists, engineers, artists, policymakers, scientists, and public health specialists, with the goal of providing a multilayered, diverse, and nuanced understanding of ecological urbanism and what it might be in the future. The promise is nothing short of a new ethics and aesthetics of the urban.
The book is also part of an ongoing series of research projects at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design that explore alternative and radical approaches between ecology and architecture, landscape architecture, planning, and urbanism".[5]
