mission statement CRC

We, “The Coalition to Rethink the Cities” seek to bring together professionals and citizens of all types to develop a vision of the city center that will promote the physical and mental health & well-being of all it inhabitants from a scientifically-based healthy & holistic full life cycle prospective.

 We seek to envision, design, codify and build city center architectures and systems that promote health and happiness among city dwelling citizens. The promotion of the health of a whole population through modification of the environment. The science of Euthenics is our calling.

 Rethinking, Redesigning, Re-codifying and Rebuilding the American Urban/Suburban Architectural Cityscape in light of this Holistic Human Needs-based vision of the city center and its architectural systems is our work

In pursuit of this Goal: We have set down the following priorities in our vision of the city center of the future that will promote the physical and mental well-being of it inhabitants from a healthy & holistic full life cycle prospective. We seek to promote the design, construction and codification of innovative architecture that meet the following needs of citizens:

 City Center Transit systems designed to promote citizen safety and energy efficiency. Regional Transit funding for regional transit projects.
 City center architectures designed to promote and protect the city sidewalk, which it is believed promotes a healthy increase in physical activity, stress-reducing casual social interactions, commerce and innovation among inhabitants within a community.
 City center buildings designed to support inhabitants from infants to the aged, from the active to the idle, from the healthy to the diseased.
 City center buildings and systems designed conserve instead of costing energy.
 City Center buildings and systems designed to minimize the use of toxic construction materials and incorporate systems that isolate and protect their inhabitants from environmental toxins such as contaminants in water, soil and air.
 City center buildings and systems designed to neutralize instead of create pollution.

We of this Coalition do abide by Scientific Principle in our analysis of city systems. Our Sciences include: Medical Sciences, Public Health, Epidemiology, Toxicology, Structural Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Sanitation Engineering as well as the Social Sciences of History, Psychology and Sociology. All these fields affect the humanly built environment or measure the effects of that environment on humans. The primary goal of the “Coalition to Rethink the Cities” is to bring these various professions together into a dialogue to build a more holistic vision of the City Center & its Architectures.
