Arcology

What Is Arcology

Arcology is a complete urban vision that combines architecture and ecology. In nature, organisms evolve in complexity and become a more compact system as they evolve. A city should evolve in the same way, as if it were a living system. Urban civilization's many challenges population expansion, pollution, energy and natural resource depletion, food shortages, and quality of life can be addressed positively by combining architecture and ecology as one integrated process. In order to support the diverse activities that preserve human culture and environmental balance, Arcology acknowledges the need for a fundamental redesign of the spreading urban landscape into dense, integrated, three-dimensional cities.
