HUMAN-i-CITY
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
~ R. Buckminster Fuller
At EnviroDynamix we adhere to our Human and Environmentally Integrated City and Neighborhood "Human-i-City" Framework in everything we do.
Human-i-City
Framework.
The "i" = Integrated, intelligent, Inclusive, Innovative and Integrity.
A Framework Based On Balance
Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and equality. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all. - Ban Ki-moon
EnviroDynamix takes a holistic approach to urban problem solving when it comes to sustainability, neighborhood development, place-making and creating resilient cities by fully integrating the social dimension into our city solutions strategies and projects.
Our Human-i-City urban and environmental anthropology based framework is designed to help city leaders, urban planners, policy makers and designers make better culture-led sustainability and planning decisions with positive social resilience impacts and benefits for their communities.
Livable, More Equitable Cities
HUMAN-I-CITY™ AND APPLIED URBAN ANTHROPOLOGY --ENSURING A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE.
Our framework uses cross cultural information and rigorous studies to address those issues commonly cited as city problems including: social stratification, ecological challenges, ethnocentrism and racism, economic inequality and poverty, housing shortages, hunger and food deserts, gender and sexual inequality, health issues, educational divide, systemic abuse and violence, and governance and policy issues.
APPLYING THE UN SDGs TO CITIES & NEIGHBORHOODS.
At the base of our framework is a deep understanding of the Global Challenges set forth by the Millennium Project and the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) applied on a localized level and to our urban environments.
We combine these global challenges with a deep understanding of cultural-social-urban-environmental and applied anthropology, human-centric design principals, circular economy and 'Livable Cities' benchmarking into our Human•i•City practice and framework.
