We will create places and connections that help us to meet the climate challenge
When we build transport infrastructure, or new neighbourhoods, we will use low carbon processes and materials, making use of recycled and repurposed materials. The ways in which we adapt existing places will need to considered – ensuring that everyone benefits, and that the place retains its identity and appeal. These challenges will enable us to build expertise in ‘urban transition’; essentially, how you change a region from being reliant on fossil fuels, resource extraction and at risk of flooding, to one that is low carbon, resource efficient, and resilient.
