CSST - Developmental Studies Mission
CSST - Developmental Studies provides researching and
consulting in the field of environmental and developmental studies.
Environment and Development are here used in their broader
meaning, to include all fields of human activity.
Our researching and consulting range from environmental theory
issues - like investigating the concept and applicability of the
Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) - to exploring the past and
the future of our urban communities and cities - as in the research
about Consonno, a small community in Northern Italy "victim" of
environmentally unsustainable behaviors.
Sustainability of urban life is a main topic of CSST - developmental
Studies activity. Human beings have the habit to gather into larger
communities: our researches aim at investigating how these
communities develop, behave themselves, manage the resources
they have, enter into competition with, or cooperate with, other
communities.
Environmental and developmental studies cannot be limited to the
management of physical resources only. Water, air, soil, and all
other physical resource we make use of and need cannot be
studied and managed without taking into consideration the prymary
and most important resource of them all: ourselves. That's why
CSST - Developmental Studies pays great attention to studying
social science issues: culture, demography, anthropology, are all
topics and themes of major importance in our vision of
environmental studies.
