Looking for a PhD on eco-districts

Hi everybody, in this post I’m going to talk about some postgraduate program that I would like to do. My career (Renewable naturals resources engineering) is very holistic and because of that is very difficult to me decide about what is the area that I prefer or which job I really want. Despite of this thinking about my dream of build a complete sustainable neighbourhood, I should study something about construction and deeper understanding about technology in clean energies that are possible to use in a neighbourhood, not only a wind or solar farms sizes.

Talking about sustainable neighbourhoods or eco-distrits, the first one it’s situated in Stockholm specifically on Hammarby sjöstad and works since this year. And the planning strategy is focused on a “close circuit of urban metabolism”, that means building sustainable systems of water, wastes and energy threats.  
That is the reason why if I ever have the chance of study in Sweden I will take the PhD programme in Sustainability Science at The Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) and visit Hammarby trying to learn the most I can about the structure and how it works (In this course I must go to the lectures ).

But if the opportunity never comes up I think I’ll take some PhD in Chile, maybe the “Master in sustainable architecture and energy” at Universidad Católica ,“Master in energy efficiency and sustainability mention building” at Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana or something in my Campus but I didn’t  researched about it yet.

    I had never heard about "eco-districts", I think it is a wonderful idea!! If any time in future you start an eco-district in Chile, I would love to contribute and live in there as well :D

    It sounds as a very interesting topic to deepen your studies. I hope you can travel abroad to know other societies and cultures.

Hi everybody! In this post, I’m going to talk about one of the most controversial topics of the last years “The global warming” one of the things that concerns me in professional terms .  To start I ´m going to explain the difference between two concepts that are usually confused: global warming and climatic change, the first one talks about the process were the earth gets warm naturally. However, humans have contributed in getting earth warmer faster because of many factors that we are responsible for, like pollution, deforestation, changes in soil usage, among others. They define another concept called “Climatic change”, that is specifically the consequence of the accumulation of greenhouse gasses on the atmosphere because of human action and the derived consequences of those actions.   To stop the Climatic Change even little actions can contribute, like recycling or being aware that the resources aren’t inexhaustible, the world needs to get better environme...
