If you have a link to a project which you think exhibits the qualities of sustainable development, post it here.

This article does not describe a specific project, but it provides some interesting perspectives of relevance to the general topic of sustainable urban design:

Industrial Ecology Web Journal: Urban Growth and Sustainable Human Habitation: The Ecology of Modern Town & Cities and the Built Environment

Essentially, it describes and discusses the application of an “ecosystem management” approach as conceptual framework to support urban sustainability.

I haven't been here for quite a while, but remembered this thread this morning when I need to find real examples and case studies.

How sad that there aren't any....!!!
