dc.description.abstract | The main goal of this practicum is to explore the issues of ecosystem services associated with a commercial parking lot in a temperate climatic condition. The site chosen was in Sydney, Australia. The intention of the design is to examine how ecosystem services can be engaged to reduce carbon emission; improve air and water quality; reduce stormwater runoff; mitigate temperature fluctuations; increase biodiversity and enhance human comfort and delight. | en_US |
