Nico Larco and Kaarin Knudson on Demystifying Sustainable Urban Design

Planners have a difficult job. In addition to being experts on
their own technical field of planning, they must also understand
a variety of other disciplines — like architecture, landscape and
ecology to name just a few. These fields are complex in their own
right, and planners must consider and translate these concepts
for laypeople and elected officials alike. Nico Larco experienced
this information overload firsthand and decided to build a
resource to compile and contextualize the essential elements of
sustainable design. The result was The Sustainable Urban Design
Handbook, which he co-authored with Kaarin Knudson.
