The Arcology Institute is accelerating the development and standardization of innovative deep green building solutions and socially equitable design principles into the urban built environment. This is more than just a business for us -- itโ€™s a passionate pursuit to help make the world a better place by reducing humanityโ€™s ecological footprint while creating equitable, healthy spaces for people to live and work. To achieve our goals, we utilize a variety of strategies, key elements of which are to: * partner with and empower triple-bottom-line startups that are in alignment with our vision and goals * identify and pursue R&D opportunities for sustainable and equitable urban solutions * create and regularly update a set of design specifications for how to build sustainably and equitably * utilize our design specification to design, build, operate and maintain flagship building projects that showcase what state of the art is for sustainable and equitable urban solutions The question that guides us is, "How do we design and build dense urban environments that support both thriving people and a thriving planet?"โ€‹
