Low Carbon Pasts, Low Carbon Futures
What can we learn from history and how does thinking with history enhance policy and place making?
Making the connections
Western societies are accustomed to high levels of energy consumption, but this has not always been the case.
Comfort, progress and prosperity are experiences which vary across human societies in different times and places.
History contributes a memory bank that stores, reflects on and evaluates human experiences and alternative outcomes.
Learn about the past with an eye to the future in this Heritage Hub project which explores:
- urban design
- economic sustainability
