Agency « Comme Vous Voulez
» developed a pedagogical and
documentary tool on sustainable construction in Europe. It
includes a DVD presenting two films on sustainable architecture and
town planning: one concerns BEDZED, an experimental ecological
neighborhood in a suburb of London, and the other concerns
FREIBOURG-EN-BRISGAU, a German town that chose sustainable town
planning (which created 10,000 jobs in sectors such as the environment,
waste management, and energy). The sustainable development bookstore
