Future-Proofing Cities: Evolutions in Sustainability-Centric Urban Design

-

With urbanization accelerating more quickly than ever, cities face the dual challenge of driving economic growth, while promoting more sustainable practices and behaviors.

What are today’s best practices in future-proofing the cities of tomorrow? How can city leaders, planners, and companies work together to integrate next-gen innovations into existing spaces? How can resiliency be defined and measured in urban design?
