Ian McHarg
Use overlays of ecological data for informed decision-making in planning and development.
Context
Complex sites where environmental impact assessments are crucial.
Problem
Single-layer analysis often misses the interconnected effects of development, leading to unforeseen environmental damage.
Solution
Create overlays of pertinent ecological data (like hydrology, soil, and species distribution) to inform developmental decisions.
