This past June, I had the opportunity to visit Mendocino, Calif. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a deep dive into the town’s approach to sustainability. The trip marked my third experience of the town and on this particular occasion the town’s water towers and windmills struck me in a very different and somewhat profound way.

Gensler will present its vision, including renderings such as this, of what the City of London will become in 2050 as part of The Developing City exhibition.
In the context of the continuing shock waves that reverberate through the world’s economy, competition between cities shows no sign of abating. London and New York are widely accepted as the only two world cities, and London just edges the lead against its rival to maintain the crown of the world’s leading financial centre. As one future-gazes, the question is whether London will be eclipsed by the fast-emerging cities of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) economies.

This week Portland International’s Jetport Terminal became only the second commercial terminal in the United States to achieve LEED Gold certification—the Gensler designed SFO T2 was the first. We sat down with project manager Jim Stanislaski to put the achievement in perspective and understand what’s next in the field of sustainable aviation design.

In my last post on the connection between cities and health I outlined what I see as both an opportunity and a challenge around healthy cities. Health benefits from the increased walking and cycling that urban areas can promote have been well documented. Policy makers, developers and designers are taking this to heart in some really exciting ways.

It seemed appropriate that we were traveling to the tsunami area very close to the one year anniversary of the disaster. The three hour drive up to the area was through primarily wooded, hilly areas, so one never really caught a glimpse of the devastation. It wasn’t until we got very close to our destination that I realized the extent of the damage and destruction.
