Sustainabile life – a journey

The GreenCities Institute’s mission include a system design, creation and share a ‘knowledgebase’  for the society to grow and prosper sustainably.

Prof. Ian L. McHarg

Dr. Ian McHarg’s (November 20, 1920 – March 5, 2001) works on  ”Design with Nature” book (1969), gave birth to spatial analysis of  nature and provided planning and design tools for sustainable Habitat.

The thought process had its incubation period, among mostly Urban planners and designers for decades.

Later, the concept became the most accepted Industry practice and now understood as ’Sustainable Management’ practices. The forerunners of the business world today are embracing the concept, defining, developing, measuring and managing the entire production and service segments for sustaiable business growth.

Green Industry contributions

GCI Welcome Green Industry to contribute its digital and print media materials covering thier product fact sheets or  MAterial Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). This catalog of information across countries would be aggregated for the developing nations to subscribe to, implement and also seek products/service in turn.

The portal being developed by GCI would host the GreenKnowledgebase system to the community at large across nations.

The best practices of the advanced and sustainable systems would guide rapidly growing, uncontrolled, resource-intensive, wastefull consumers, offices and companies. The media and materials and its authenticity will be screened for quality control. The royalty on usage and legal registry framework would be facilitated across nations.

The adoptions and exchanges of the Green best practice knowledgebase through GCI portal will promote a Sustainabile living, production and consumption cycle globally.
