Sustainability Strategy
Let’s rewind the clock to 1969. Humankind has walked on the moon for the first time, and the world population is just over 3.5 billion people.
Fast forward to 2024. Plans to return to the moon are well underway, and the world population has over doubled to a staggering 8 billion people. Although humankind completed the same feat over a half-century ago, today’s technology is lightyears ahead of yesteryear’s innovations.
The same is true for ecological urbanism. While cities have been striving toward greater efficiency for decades, today’s technologies are better than ever before. How we use these technologies, however, will determine our success. As with the moon landing missions, failure is not an option. Given the magnitude of the world population, ecological urbanism must succeed to ensure a sustainable future.
With these critical developments in mind, a top consulting firm enlisted the help of our team at Sharp Minds to infuse sustainability into a landmark mega-project in the Middle East. Through our talented consultants and strategic perspective, we propelled the project’s inspiring vision forward.

Challenge
When we first engaged our client, we identified several key challenges. The overarching strategy not only lacked attention to detail, but also failed to consider the key environmental, social, and economic considerations of the project.
Additionally, the project had yet to clearly identify the strategic partners, stakeholders, and industry experts necessary to achieve success.
From there, we looked ahead toward post-implementation. For a project of this scale, specialized technologies would be necessary to collect data, monitor success, and make better sustainability decisions. Our next objective was to develop a tangible course of action.
Solution
To address the environmental, social, and economic aspects of the mega-project, our consultants developed a comprehensive framework while forecasting the relationships between each consideration. To ensure accuracy and avoid oversights, we built a cohesive network of vetted leaders in sustainability with the technical expertise to support the project’s evolution.
We also incorporated a tailored blend of tools and technologies to assess the project’s results. Through meticulous data collection and analysis, these technologies would play an instrumental role in not only keeping the project on track, but also supporting future decision-making. The impact of these solutions has been felt across the entire mega-project.
Impact
As our client continues to bring the mega-project to fruition, our sustainability plan has accelerated the path to progress. With each decision, the project’s leaders have the confidence of a data-informed strategy. Meanwhile, they have a deep network of industry experts to lean on as the project evolves. As a result, the mega-project is on track to become the gold standard for ecological urbanism on the global stage.
