Alfred Bernhart

Who was Alfred Bernhart?

Professor Alfred P. Bernhart was an Austrian-born Canadian urbanist, writer and engineer. Ever concerned for the well being of the planet, Bernhart developed three key theories. They are his theories on Evapotranspiration, Societal Values and Metropolis 2025. In 1976 he concentrated his efforts to improving peoples’ quality of life in its entirety rather than in customary compartmentalization. For example, “use” of the fertilizing power of effluent water for the growth of valuable vegetation, rather than mere “disposal” as damage control.
