Transforming the cities of the future
The 21st Century is the century of the city, with the United Nations estimating 75% of the global population will live in cities by 2050. The wicked problems that we associate with cities and urban life are epitomized in the critical need to address the climate crisis while tackling societal crises related to equity and justice across our communities.
The Faculty of Environment has launched the Future Cities Initiative to address these needs with a focus on thinking differently about the city of 2050; what should that city be and how do we get there?
Join the conversation at the inaugural Future Cities Initiative Δ Program seminar.
