According to the UN, cities are responsible for nearly three-quarters of global carbon emissions. One of the cities\u2019 biggest culprits? The built environment. Pledges to decarbonize cities, including the built environment, abound. It is clear that the climate is in crisis and that we need to make significant changes\u2014but how do we move past exploring ambitions and strategies to create a meaningful, achievable plan for cities to decarbonize?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Wan, our guest lecturer, will present Abu Dhabi\u2019s Masdar City as a case study in sustainable urban development. He\u2019ll take listeners through a practical development methodology that balances passive architectural design, technology and innovation, renewable energy, and holistic master planning. He\u2019ll also present a data-driven roadmap of Masdar City\u2019s journey to net-zero with an overview of current challenges and barriers, as well as potential solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
