The trend towards urbanisation is unbroken - especially in the countries of the South. People are drawn to cities, and megacities are growing both in number and size. By 2050, two thirds of people are expected to live in cities, many of them in recarious conditions in slums. Informal settlements where the poorest live are mostly in vulnerable areas.
80 per cent of economic output is generated in cities - but the ecological footprints there are also huge: cities are responsible or about 80 per cent of global energy consumption and over 70 per cent of CO2 emissions.
The challenges for cities (buildings, spatial design, waste, water supply) are enormous. Climate change exacerbates the problem, it will be felt particularly strongly in cities as cities will heat up
Multiple solutions are urgently needed to make the cities of the future more liveable and climate-adapted.
In this seminar, we want to look at best-practice examples of climate-resilient urban planning, e.g. energy-efficient architecture, greening the cities and to see what lessons can be learned for the future. The focus will be to learn about sustainable approaches from countries in the south. We will also include nature-based solutions.
