Smart, Green & Liveable: Shaping the Future of Cities

Urbanization is one of the defining trends of the 21st century: Cities continue to grow and will play an even more important role in shaping our future. They are economic centers and provide opportunities for large parts of the global population.

At the same time, cities are vulnerable to climate shocks, to pandemics and social inequality. They produce a large share of carbon emissions and – without appropriate planning – could fail to provide suitable living and working environments for citizens and businesses alike.
 
In this DLD Sync conversation, Francesca Bria, President of the Italian National Innovation Fund, and Lauren Kiel, General Manager at Bloomberg Green, shared strategies, insights and concrete examples of how to mitigate these challenges and actively shape cities for a smarter, greener and more liveable future.
