Novatlantis takes the findings and results of recent research within the ETH domain and applies them to projects designed to promote sustainable development in major urban settlements. By using practical examples, we seek to demonstrate what a sustainable future might be like. Working with researchers and scientists from the ETH domain, we initiate multidisciplinary projects. In partnership with governmental bodies and industry, we run projects which reflect the societal and technical aspects of sustainability. Projects are forward-looking, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly and seek to ensure that future generations can enjoy a high quality of life. The use of the latest technology will guarantee high living standards. Economic prosperity for all will guarantee material and spiritual development. A considerate use of resources and closed material cycles will guarantee environmental integrity. Our vision is long term and our current horizon is 2050.
