A key to wellbeing and climate solutions
Urbanism is the practice of shaping how towns and cities function and evolve.
It’s what weaves the fabric of life in a metropolis. It is what determines how (and whether) neighbors meet for coffee in a small burg.
And it is key to creating more out of life while driving crucial climate action–including through:
- Creating fuller transportation options such as more frequent transit and better bicycleability;
- Building more housing in town of the kind people need;
- Electrifying everything, from appliances to vehicles;
- Elimating air pollution and protecting clean, safe air; and
- Creating stronger and more self-reliant communities.
In sum, it’s full of ways to make public and private investments deliver more and help changemakers to achieve their goals.
Opportunity: Explore how the concepts and methods of urbanism can enable and improve initatives for wellbeing and climate solutions–including those involving transportation, electrification, and air quality–and put them to work through projects, policy, and politics.
