BEYOND LIVEABILITY: REGENERATIVE, RESTORATIVE, NET-POSITIVE INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

Cynthia Mitchell is Professor of Sustainability and Deputy Director at UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures. She is the recipient of national and international awards from industry and academia, a Fellow of Engineers Australia, and a Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. Cynthia 'fell' into sewage treatment in the early '90s and says she never really recovered from all the bad joke possibilities. She is passionate about improving the economic, ecological and social sustainability of our water and sanitation systems, through bringing together diverse disciplines, diverse organisations and civil society. Across the globe, most of us now live in cities, and the way we live in cities is mostly unsustainable. We didn't set out to be unsustainable - our intentions are generally to do the right thing. It's just that working out what is the right thing to do is a genuinely difficult task that gets more complex the more we learn about the connected nature of things.
