We believe that nurturing development rooted in principles of Care for the environment and each other, Sharing of available resources and amenities, and Self Sustaining life through closed consumption loops will prove central in the years ahead. The Self-Nurturing City proposal will rely on renewable energy, renewable and recycled construction materials with a low energy footprint. The design offers closed consumption loops to promote resilient, local production and a circular economy that is considerate of the impact of industrial grade agriculture and non-native crop production.
