Cities, placemaking, living and the net zero challenge.
The transition to net zero is probably the biggest generational challenge we will face. It is vast and will impact every strand of people’s lives as we move to a lower carbon future.
But it is not the only challenge we face, and not the only challenge that our cities are facing today.
We wanted to explore how cities are approaching this. Not just how they are planning to decarbonise their operations but also how they are incorporating other challenges such as the regeneration of places, addressing the housing crisis and the constant provision of services in a harsh economic environment.
We have spoken to a number of cities on what they have been doing, as well as consulting with other stakeholders also involved in the development of our cities.
