Spotlight Session: Technology And Nature At The Forefront Of Tomorrow’s Cities
CGI 2024 Annual Meeting
Spotlight Session: Technology And Nature At The Forefront Of Tomorrow’s Cities
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities – where limited space and systems to serve billions of people are generating health disparities and high levels of pollution. As urban populations are set to double by 2050 and each successive year is the hottest on record, cities must leverage the power of both technology and nature to reimagine, advocate for, and ultimately build cities that allow people and the planet to prosper. This session will examine what’s working to develop healthy, sustainable, and equitable cities worldwide. Participants Alfredo Brillembourg Founder, Urban Think Tank Davida Herzl, Co-Founder, President and CEO, Aclima Inc. Hakim Jeffrey, Senior Coordinator, Green City Force Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London Mariana Matus, Co-Founder and CEO, Biobot Analytics Tolullah Oni, CEO and Professor, UrbanBetter and University of Cambridge Manali Shah, National Secretary, Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) Nigel Sullivan, Chief Sustainability and People Officer, Bupa Brenda Torres, Executive Director, Estuario, San Juan Bay Estuary Partnership
