Sustainability Plans for the Future: A look into global cities and their plans and visions for the future. Sustainability is the future, and the future is shaped by sustainable visions! The students in CIVE230: Engineering and Sustainable Development go beyond the course content by learning from the world around us and from each other. This e-book has been the outcome of the project experience that allowed students to explore topics of their choice in cities of their choice. This e-book is now a souvenir from the course. Students in the course were tasked with making a contribution to an e-book. The inspiration for the course project this term was to connect with the University of Waterloo’s newly launched Future Cities Institute so that they might think of future cities as Waterloo Region and surrounding regions explore their sustainable futures. The students were creative and innovative in applying course concepts to cities of their choice by exploring sustainability challenges and innovations.

This course covers theories about the form that settlements should take and attempts a distinction between descriptive and normative theory by examining examples of various theories of city form over time.

Through examples and historical context, current issues of city form in relation to city-making, social structure, and physical design will also be discussed and analyzed.
