Resilient Cities in a Changing World: Design and the Urgency of Climate Challenge
Original language description
Cities are the forefront of some of the most pressing global challenges - sucha as climate change, urbanisation, sustainability and public health. With nearly 70 % of the worlds population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, according to the United Nations (UN), cities will play a crucial role in shaping both human well-being and environmental resilience. Central to these challenges is the built environment, which is responsible for nearly 37 % of global CO2 Emissions. Cities as a while contribute around 70%, with buildings alone accounting for approximately 40 % of urban emissions. As cities expand, the dominance of concrete, steel and glass exacerbates the urban heat island effect, increases energy consumption and places significant strain on water, air and food systems. Yet, the built environment is not just a contributor to these problems - it is also a powerful driver of sustainable solutions. Urban centres hold the greatest potential for transformation, serving as testing grounds for policy innovation, green technology and community-driven adapation strategies.
