Designing Happiness in Pueblo Today
/Creating Socially Sustainable Communities
At Pueblo Sustainable Solutions L3C, we are confronting the issues facing communities today. There are many questions on the frontier of sustainability, but we are beginning to understand the ways to build and design socially sustainable communities. How do you measure social sustainability? Recently the Berkeley Group and Social Life sponsored a global discussion called #CityTalk which drew experts from around the globe to discuss the many issues that face leaders and planners today.
What are the most important considerations for building a sustainable community here in Pueblo, Colorado? We have created a summary of the core ideas and values which help inform and guide us as we design and build into the future.
- The look and feel of a socially sustainable community
- Design housing so that neighbors interact
- Can design lead to happiness?
- Transport infrastructure as a tool for more sustainable communities
- Giving residents a voice and a stake...crowdfunding spaces
- Examples of socially sustainable communities
- Building housing that makes everyone feel safer
- The negative impacts of community building needs a new value system
