"In line with the best available evidence, CABE believes climate change is mainly the result of human activity. We also observe that the problems climate change presents us with are in large part planning, design and management issues. Climate change and wider objectives of sustainable development are subject to a circular relationship in which dynamic feedbacks between the two affect one another. These problems are a consequence of where things are located and how they’re designed: how resources and energy are consumed; land developed; buildings and infrastructure constructed; services supplied, and places connected. The construction and use of the UK’s built environment infrastructure currently accounts for around 50 per cent of national carbon emissions and 1 per cent of total of global emissions. There are, therefore, planning, design and management solutions to climate change, based on the application of design as a problem-solving process."
A quote i've taken from this link
The quote really defines why i'm researching this as a whole. The process in which things are designed for use and sustainability, has the oppurtunity and chance to be changed for the better as a whole. The way things are designed and used are affected by the planning process done by humans at the beginning of the project. If humans can change the planning process and start from the beginning in taking into account, Global Warming as a whole.
Research in more depth into the link and flesh out more information
