The choices we make every day relate to our impact on the earth as global citizens. In Boston, ‘green’ businesses may create new opportunities, while other businesses may be regulated out of existence. This course will explore going green from the points of view of green businesses making a positive impact on the earth, the downside of a greener economy, and the powerlessness many feel about their ability to create lasting change.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
Today we will be refining our essential questions. Once we have them set, our last order of business will be to comment these questions to the blog.
Architects have been trying to create the ultimate human habitat for many years, and will continue to do so for many years to come. To create, maintain, and run a huge city large ammounts of energy are required. How much time to architects spend on calculating the most energy efficient way to lay out a city? In what ways can architects reduce the ammount of wasted energy to perserve our resources? How effective and benefical can alternative energy sources be even on the large scale of a city such as Boston?
Architecture in an urban environment can help to solve many peoblems. One such problem n an urban space is traffic. How might Boston design and build future structures to help traffic problems in Boston?
a citys layout is constantly changing, space is a valuable and key aspect of/in a city, how is the city/arcitecks changing the layout to concerve/efficently use the citys space. Matt H.
In cities, planning for new buildings always have needed time and space. Now space and cost is a big problem and many people cannot afford housing. How are contracters trying to get space that can be sold cheaply to the poor?
Money, time, and resources are a big part in making a building. One of the big problems in cities is polluton. Is there a way to be possitive contributor to helping the pollution problem within the city, while constructing your building within the time, mony, and resources boundries?
Boston, along with many other large cities, seems to go out of it's way to creat extravagent buildings and archetectual feats. Are there benefits and reason why boston creates buildings like 111 Huntington St. and the Bunker Hill Bridge? If so, where do archetects and contractors draw the line for new buildings?
Architects and developers have been running out of space to build buildings. These new building have to be built in small amounts of space but still have positive impact on the city. What new ideas are architects and developers coming up with so that these new building have a positive impact on the city?

Architecture is mare than just buildings. Its a problem, because you have to put into consideration the roads, traffic, and the placing of buildings to make the structure look presentable. How do you take all of of these aspects and put them together to make a productive building?
There are more buildings in the Boston now, so the Boston became more convenience , but the building also cause a lot of pollution. How can we make more buildings and decrease the pollution at the same time?
Laws and regualtions are a big part of the building process. When laws and regs are broken, what effect does it have on the job process and who does it effect.
This is my five comment for JUA. The comment for Nick B’s question The architects will make more people in Boston. Maybe build more parking place will decrease the car.
The comment for JD W’s question Boston is a famous city. The government might want to let Boston become very famous city, so they built more building for live, or make some malls to increase the economic in Boston.
The comment for Paul E’s question The government can make more subway systems, and also more parking place. Those might help for the traffics.
The comment for John C’s question The government can build more police stations to decrease the crime.
The comment for Matt H’s question Well, this is very tough question. They can design some parking lot in those architecture, it can save a lot of the space. They can design more malls, then people will came to the city for shopping.
