Everything is connected to everything else. Everything must go somewhere. Nature knows best. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Barry Commoner’s Laws of Ecology provides a framework for understanding the forces that govern the complex natural world. The Laws of Ecology apply to the urban environment as well. Retail is a great example. If in this presentation we equate shoppers, retail workers, and transportation operators to biotic components and to the bricks and mortar of stores, streets and walkways of a retail area to abiotic elements, and explore how these elements relate “naturally” to each other within an urban ecosystem.#Workshops #Presentations #2014REKCNewYorkWorkshop #Conferences
