This is the page for Unit 14, "The Future: Eco-economy or Eco-disaster?" There is a reading from Hill (the same as in Unit 13), a short reading, as well as a Powerpoint presentation.

Presentations

  • Unit 14 (PDF, 2.4 MB, for browsing) (download)
  • Unit 14 (PDF, <1MB, for printing) (download)
  • Unit 14 (Powerpoint 2003, 2.1 MB), must be downloaded. On the file page, click on the filename link near the top to download.

Readings and videos

  • Continue to read chapter 9 of Hill.

The two videos are clearly "propaganda" espousing the virtues of Masdar and Melbourne, but they show different visions for a sustainable city - one new, one old. Are both visions valid, or only one; are they simply propaganda with no substance, or are there useful lessons?
