As they grow, cities will consume more land, present greater pollution challenges and concentrate greater shares of global wealth, raising new questions about sustainability and equity in our global society. How can we effectively plan for the influx of people and the inevitable pressure on city resources it will present while fighting urban sprawl? Can social norms, political institutions and even economic activity help us to promote sustainable cities? As more traditional communities transform from smaller, separate townships to sprawling urban centers, how do we reorient our thinking to solve these challenges?
Join us as Dr. Blair Ruble, distinguished scholar at The Woodrow Wilson Center, discusses how we can make the cities of the future more resilient and more equitable.
This event is presented in partnership with Meeting of the Minds.
