The following case study critiques Upton’s vision to establish a sustainable community through implementing comprehensive sustainable strategy. The urban periphery development is thought to demonstrate superior execution of sustainable principles in development (Jackson 2007). As a parallel, the report focuses on the development of Upton’s design code and demonstrates how large -scale mix-use developments can incorporate sustainable practice and principles of urban growth. Site Context Upton is

The effects of sea level rise are profound throughout the western coastal zone as it is low-lying and the coastal lands are subsiding (Karim and Mimura 2008) . Coastal wetlands such as salt marshes and mangroves will decrease in number unless they have a sufficient sediment supply to keep pace with Sea Level Rise. These physical impacts, in turn, have both direct and indirect socioeconomic implications, which appear to be immensely negative (Cazenave and Nicholls 2010).For example, based on national

The influence of the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulfstream in Southwest Florida Waters make the temperature just right for literally hundreds of different kinds of fish. In 2011, “Florida’s recreational anglers caught roughly 121 million marine fish, 74 million of which were released.” These statistics support the notion that fishing may be one of the most loved hobbies. Since fishing efforts have been drastically increasing over the years, dozens of species are threatened with extinction and many more

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE I feel greatly pleased in presenting myself as Environmental Engineering student. It was the first time I had seen a board with slogan ‘Garbage is Penny', when I was in grade five. My childhood brain could not understand the chemistry behind garbage being money. Following basic the concept of compost manure, I then realized garbage can be converted into money if recycled as compost manure. Selection of the appropriate field of study has always been a crucial decision. Driven
