Low Density Urbanism, Sustainability, and IHOPE- Maya: Can the Past Provide more than History?

The Dahlem forum on “Sustainability or Collapse” in 20051 spawned a variety of regional research groups that now operate under the IHOPE (Integrated History and Future of People on Earth) umbrella. The developing syntheses from these groups are designed to investigate the effectiveness of geographically meaningful units for subsequent cross-temporal and crosscultural global comparisons. Our group, known as IHOPE-Maya, is composed of approximately twenty researchers working across the Yucatan Peninsula and the Maya Lowlands of Central America (Figure 1) and focuses on the role of coupled human/nature dynamism in the context of an evolving tropical forested civilization (Costanza et al., 2012). The initial charge of IHOPEMaya was to break down disciplinary divisions and integrate sometimes disparate data sets in a manner compatible with region-wide computational modeling and cultural comparison.
