SuNliving is a single, inclusive approach for planning, designing and implementing a sustainable neighbourhood. It is a process that links broader concepts of sustainable development and sustainable living to detailed neighbourhood-scale actions through a structured planning and design work plan.
It’s about a new way of thinking — about holistic thinking that strikes a balance between economic prosperity, social responsibility, environmental stewardship and cultural vitality.
It’s about a new way of visioning — about viewing neighbourhood development through a new set of lenses that considers both sustainable development and sustainable living.
It’s about a new way of doing — about collaboration that engages diverse groups at every step, allowing all unique viewpoints and skills to filter into planning, design and implementation in an integrated way.
It’s about an expanded development process — about going beyond the traditional process with greater levels of detail and sustainable interventions at the appropriate time.
It’s about supporting decision making — about providing the decision makers with a framework and suite of tools that connect liveability and quality of life to sustainable development and urban design.
It’s about proactive commitment — about first of all doing the right things, and then doing the right things right by putting greater emphasis on the front-end of the design process where results can be optimized.
