Ecological Neighbourhood

Toronto has the potential to develop a zero-waste neighbourhood. By following biological methods and formulating a systematically designed framework that links different functions and encourages mixed-density clusters, self-contained and biological cycles will be built within the community microclimate. An “ecological neighbourhood” laboratory will be constructed to create a zero-waste development where occupants can lead a low-carbon lifestyle. The techniques explored here are potentially applicable to the rest of the Greater Toronto Area and other cities around the world.
