SuNliving at a Glance
SuNliving offers an approach for translating broader concepts of sustainable development and sustainable living into planning and design decisions at the neighbourhood scale. By providing a common language, an inclusive approach, and an understanding of planning and designing for a one planet footprint, SuNliving facilitates sustainable neighbourhood development.
SuNliving is represented as a five-step framework that starts with high-level sustainable neighbourhood concepts and systematically unpacks them into detailed issue areas, goals, indicators, targets, strategies and actions.
The application of this decision-making framework to a real-world sustainable neighbourhood project requires a detailed work plan, which is presented in this how-to book. The work plan expands the five framework steps with specific tasks for each step and proposed activities for each task. It translates sustainable development concepts into a physical plan and course of action that guide a project through detailed design and construction.
