Move over sprawl, the earth needs a more sustainable and efficient approach to city planning.
Today our planet is exploding in population and our environment is in peril. We must create new ways of living in large numbers in urban settings.
Advanced materials, technology and systems are being used to adapt to all our new Venices—cities born out of dire necessity, and one whose inhabitants were forced to invent new systems and structures to fit a unique set of environmental circumstances—all over the world.
The traditional method of growing cities, i.e “sprawl,” will no longer do.

Through intelligence, creativity and technology, we will make all the cities of the world sustainable. Acknowledging that cities are part of the earth, not simply built on top of it, is the first step.
