Business Opportunity: Sustainable Cities
1. Urban areas just 2% of total land area, but responsible for most of the world’s carbon emissions. Cities are key leverage points for change
2. More than 50% of the cities that we will have by 2050 have not yet been built.
3. How we build cities will have long-term resource implications
