Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. According to the UN, that figure will increase to two thirds by 2050. Cities need to adapt to be safe and sustainable given climate change
There are not so many differences between different cities. Cities are simply clusters of people and they all have the same needs: to live, work, nurture, learn and relax. The biggest challenge today is to radically change the way we think, to respond to climate change and to adapt to the needs of a growing population.
Let us accept the challenge. Let us together try to go one step further than our current responsibilities. Let us take the necessary steps forward towards tomorrow’s issues.
