Urban Evolution: Our Future Cities
A news-style programme from ITN Business exploring how cities can drive climate action
UK100's Chief Executive Christopher Hammond features in this timely exploration of how our cities - while contributing significantly to climate change - are also integral to the solution.
While cities occupy just 3% of the Earth's land, they account for the majority of global energy consumption and carbon emissions. With urban populations growing rapidly, transforming our cities is essential to meeting global climate and development goals.
In this news-style programme from ITN Business, presenter Mary-Ann Ochota examines urban design, adaptation and resilience, alongside ways to promote healthy cities and public wellbeing. The programme features key industry insights and news-style reports along with sponsored editorial profiles from organisations at the forefront of urban sustainability.
Christopher Hammond features to discuss the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising the built environment. Drawing on UK100's latest research "Local Net Zero 2.0: The Moment to Deliver", Christopher shares insights on how local leaders are driving forward ambitious climate action in their communities, from retrofitting existing buildings to ensuring new developments meet the highest environmental standards.
The programme explores:
- How cities can adapt to meet climate challenges
- The role of local authorities in driving sustainable development
- Innovations in urban design and the built environment
- Ways to create healthier, more resilient cities
- The importance of collaboration between local and national government
