Future City Philadelphia |
The American Society of Highway Engineers, Southern New Jersey Section
presents the
2021-2022 Excellence in Highway Engineering Design Award
to
Collingswood Middle School in Collingswood, NJ
The 2021—2022 Future City Theme is Designing a Waste-Free City
Imagine a city 100 years in the future that generates no waste and no pollution. Is this even possible? If we look to the natural world, the answer is yes! In nature, one organism’s waste is another organism’s food. Nutrients and energy flow in a cycle of growth, decay, and reuse. This is called a circular system.
All around the world, engineers, city planners, innovators, entrepreneurs, and government leaders are using the principles of a circular economy to create waste-free cities. They are designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.
