A mouthful to say and a head scratcher to most people I encounter – this is what Community & Environment means for me:
Community
Not just a dot on a map.
Communities are physical expressions of the lives, activities and belief systems of people who form and live within them.
Environment
The essentials.
Our environment is a web of ecological, cognitive, social, economic and cultural elements; buildings and other human or physical structures.
A solid foundation for enduring sustainable systems
requires critical understanding of the intricate relationships
between human and ecological systems.
