Creating Sustainable Cities from the Ground Up – Lessons from Disney Research

China will build an entire city the size of Metropolitan Toronto from the ground up — every year for the next 20 years!

The scale, speed and impact of this is unprecedented. For
this effort to be sustainable, new conceptual models of urban
planning as well as new technologies in design, financing, and
construction management of major infrastructure projects have
to be developed and tested in a very short time. Join us for a
view from the front lines of this amazing real-world challenge
with Dr. Ben Schwegler and his lecture titled Sustainable Cities
in China.

Presented by the Faculty of Engineering
