Urban Development and Eco Design Challenges

The video explores eco design concepts through international case studies in Vancouver, Helsinki, and Portland. It highlights the challenges of urbanization, globalization, and industrialization, and how eco design can create livable, sustainable cities. The case studies demonstrate practical applications of eco design principles, emphasizing the importance of integrating natural and built environments. The video concludes with a call for further research to enhance urban ecosystems.
