I think it's moreso how whatever is being built will affect the surrounding area/environment and using those skills to plan the structure/park/etc to have less of an adverse affect. I know of one issue where paved roads that are too wide cause alot of problems with heavy rains... in the sewers and also above ground. It's like the wider the road, the more water that is being sent to the storm drains. That excess of water is essentially flooding the treatment plants when heavy rains occur. I know this is/was an issue in our area a handful of years ago.
I'm sure Tralina could tell you much better than I, though. I'm just a fan of pro enviro development!
