Session 7: Urban Growth & Sustainability

2:00-3:15PM (Attendees access from 1:55PM)

In 2050 it is predicted that 70% of the worlds (increasing) population will live in cities. The challenge is how to meet/overcome both climate changes and make place/housing for the new inhabitants. And at the same time build sustainable and affordable.

We have been able to gather some of the most knowledgeable experts on how to successfully transform cities to more liveability while at the same time meeting some of the huge challenges due to climate change and the need to make our cities more inclusive.
