Sustainable Urbanism
 |
[Sustainability at the Urban Scale] CAR’s aim in providing environmental sustainability consultancy at the city scale is to ensure that development absorbs more CO2 than it emits. This can be achieved by energy efficient building and transport design, and the use of renewable energy sources.

 |
Based on lessons learned from Garden Cities and New Towns development in the UK, CAR has developed an holistic method for assessing the sustainability of new settlements. |
 |
CAR has more than a decade’s experience in training for sustainable construction, in consultancy on specific building projects in China, and in participating in masterplanning exercises to ensure that principles of sustainable design are incorporated at the urban scale. . |
 |
CAR’s research focuses on new solutions for dealing with demographic change and exploring alternative regeneration strategies. |
 |
CAR has developed a range of tools that involve stakeholders and members of the public in thinking strategically about issues of energy management.

CAR has been committed to sustainable design since the company was founded in 1987, and has built up an impressive track record of completed projects. Sustainable urbanism involves many inter-related areas of expertise which we have broadly classified into sectors, but the boundaries are set aside when CAR considers its response to each new project enquiry.
