Cultural Sustainability and how we realize It.

 

Capitalist economy aims for constant growth, for intensive environmental development in order to provide more housing for crowded cities. In many cities around the world, especially in third-world countries, this development is almost always done at the expense of local culture. We hear more and more about cultural extinction. While we're worried about the devastation we're causing the environment because of our poor product economy, while we gather and huddle in cities, we wipe out the most critical element in human life: tradition, culture, and identity. Cultural sustainability aims to locate and preserve local cultural values, to develop legislation and economic mechanisms that allow the culture and tradition to be preserved.

 

Building cultural values mission is to help develop crowded cities, to allow for intensive development, but argues that without preservation and nurturing of cultural sustainability, these cities won't survive. We develop tools so that our cities will have cultural sustainability, so that we can feel  we're a part of them, so that we will want to take a more intensive part in their economic activity.
