Ecological Flows.

environmental  tool

planning instrument well  being  of  people

hypothesis:urban metabolism is a useful new

angle in at least four ways:

• the infrastructures of the flows are design challenges in their own right;

• looking at flows produce ways of enhancing environmental performance and making cities smarter;

• potential smart planning instruments: they might be ‘formative’ to cities in an indirect way.

• access to the infrastructure/flows is determining the well-being of people
