Creating sustainable urban centres
Arup have been involved in some of the most pioneering work around urban sustainability. Arup's Dongtan project near Shanghai has led the way. But the knowledge they have gleaned from this work may have a much wider application in helping make all other towns and cities sustainable entities. This talk will summarise the work being done, the main discoveries and pinpoint the challenges and opportunities for business.
- The Dongtan project: The innovations that help make a sustainable city and some anecdotes from suppliers
- Challenges and opportunities in sustainable urban renewal: What needs to happen and how will progress be facilitated
- The appetite for sustainable urban renewal: the scale of opportunity
