Finally gathered enough data to plot the ecological footprint (EF) of 30 cities against their population density. It’s reassuring to see the trend of decreasing EF as population density increases. It also shows that I’ve lowered my EF from 7.36 to 4.4 gha (avg.) by moving from Toronto to HK!

Revisited this book, Ecological Footprint can be an interesting tool to measure the sustainability of cities, will try to gather data and plot some graphs for my dissertation tomorrow. Was a bit sleep deprived over the weekend because of sleeping problems and two long day lectures (not sure if the 2 were related). Anyway, felt […]
