A Toolbox for Exuma, The Bahamas Environmental Management, Design and Planning Mohsen Mostafavi, Gareth Doherty, Robert Daurio This book presents an approach to environmental management, design and planning rooted in fieldwork and engagement. Both a book and a portable exhibition, A Toolbox includes a number of unfolding pamphlets, which can be displayed as posters or read as a book. The world is currently facing many ecological challenges that relate to questions of resource scarcity, pollution, climate change, and risk. These issues are amplified in fragile island communities. In this context, how should society and governments anticipate the future of citizens? A Toolbox for Exuma, The Bahamas is based on collaboration among the Government of The Bahamas, The Bahamas National Trust (BNT), and Harvard University Graduate School of Design. The Toolbox illustrates a novel research approach leading to an innovative planning process. The Toolbox offers a complement to land use plans that might end up “sitting on a shelf.” It offers a process, rooted in fieldwork, which is active and reflexive, descriptive and prescriptive.
