Ecological Flows.
infrastructure design
planning instrument
environmental tool
planning instrument well being of people
hypothesis:urban metabolism is a useful new
angle in at least four ways:
• the infrastructures of the flows are design challenges in their own right;
• looking at flows produce ways of enhancing environmental performance and making cities smarter;
• potential smart planning instruments: they might be ‘formative’ to cities in an indirect way.
• access to the infrastructure/flows is determining the well-being of people
