Consilium’s experience has broadened to include work in the Middle East and India; situations requiring an understanding of the cultural milieu and the necessity to build at appropriate densities. Central to these cultures is to plan utilizing comprehensive sustainability strategies that minimize dependence on fossil fuel consumption, manage water resources and incorporate urban agriculture. As these cultures evolve into major participants in the world economy they look to American expertise in environmental planning. It is critical to demonstrate our understanding and at the same time embrace lessons from these cultures which are evolving rapidly while managing growth at a considerably reduced carbon footprint. Consilium collaborates by utilizing a strategy that reflects state of the art sustainability practices with regional advancements and understanding.
