Welcome to the Engineering Sustainability blog. This blog will seek to address the issues of sustainability in urban planning and future developments. Sustainability is a complex idea and often has several different definitions and meanings. The best way to describes Sustainability is “to meet the needs of the now without sacrificing the needs of the future”. There are three major areas of sustainability which include Social, Economic, and Environmental. All of them are equally important and have major impact on our daily lives.

Global Climate Change affects us all from the local farmer who is experiencing an abnormal drought, or the family whose house was destroyed do to an unprecedented rainstorm. Rather you believe the cause is man-made or not is irrelevant, if action is not taken the next disaster could be your business, your home, or your welfare. For this reason, sustainability is becoming increasingly imperative especially in the designs of new technologies and processes. We have to engineer the technologies today to help us ensure comfortable life and mitigate disasters so that future generations can still enjoy the same air we breathe today.
