DESCRIPTION:How do we know when a city is truly sustainable?  Is it even p
 ossible for cities in a global age to be so?  How can professional and gov
 ernance practices retool to enable truly sustainable urbanism?  Urbanists 
 plan and design forms\, traditionally.  Yet in nature as in cities\, human
 s\, other species\, and ecosystems – including cities – live\, evolve\
 , and adapt through processes. \n\nUnderstanding processes is a key to des
 ign\, build\, manage\, and govern the city region sustainably.  Process kn
 owledge guides everything\, from site planning and material selection to c
 onstructions methods and assessing sustainability. After all\, the active 
 verb “sustain” means to keep a process going over a long time – so i
 t is durable.\n\nMichael Neuman is Professor of Sustainable Urbanism at th
 e University of New South Wales.  Before coming to Sydney he lived in Barc
 elona\, where he advised the current mayor and was consultant to the Barce
 lona Metropolitan Territorial Plan. Prior to that he was an associate prof
 essor of urban planning\, director of the Master of Urban Planning Program
 \, and founder and Chair of the Sustainable Urbanism post-graduate program
  at Texas A&M University.\n\n
