Abstract

(Thesis Statement)

The world today has physical, social, and economic problems that can be solved, at least in part, through architectural design. This thesis argues that designing our neighborhoods with equal weight given to the environmental, social, and economic issues can help solve larger global problems. The goal of sustainability can happen if we create neighborhoods that contain basic needs in all these areas for their inhabitants without jeopardizing their necessary connectivity to other neighborhoods and the larger urban fabric.
