Sustainability and the city

More than half the world’s population now lives in cities, and cities are responsible for up to 75% of the world’s carbon emissions.  Adapting cities to consume less energy, and to mitigate the effects of climate change is clearly crucial.  But they need to be successful and sustainable in an holistic sense too. This seminar stream will also look at the things you can’t always draw on plans or even measure: how cities work, what can be done better, who can take the lead, and look at initiatives on different scales from the sub regional to the neighbourhood level
