Growing cities and building resilience

We are outgrowing our cities, not only in terms of population but also in what we expect from them. The need for sufficient, good quality housing, transport, green space and community has to be balanced with the seemingly insurmountable challenges of climate change and resource depletion.

How do we do that?

• Housing
  Building in ‘community’ as population density increases.
• Land use
  Housing need vs green spaces, natural water pressures.
• Transport
  Is car free the future, how much capacity do we need?
• Technology
  What does a smart city look like? Technology’s sustainability role.
• Air quality
  Combating poor air quality and reducing pollution while helping cities to grow.
