Building Strategic Intelligence Series 2021 - Cities in Transformation - English

Cities are at a critical inflection point. COVID-19 has already significantly altered urban life, both physically and socially. Citizens are demanding that cities become more liveable, sustainable and affordable. Set against budget shortfalls, dwindling tax revenues and public services putting pressure on city budgets, decisions made today regarding the future of cities will determine whether we succeed in creating a more resilient future against the threat of climate change and inequality. This session explores how net zero cities and urban design can help transform cities and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy and equity.
