Rapid urbanisation is placing unprecedented pressure on natural resources. More than ever, there is a need for sustainable development as we race towards expansion. The Art and Science of Sustainability is a series of exhibitions and public programmes which approach the issue of sustainability with a unique perspective, exploring the beauty of the world we live in and emphasising the core importance of the harmonious relationship between mankind and its environment.
Three eco-themed exhibitions form the core of the programme. Though varied in subject matters, all three exhibitions cast the spotlight on environmental issues and highlight the vital importance to conserve and praise our natural resources.
