Sustainable cities in an urbanized world

What this episode covers

Guest : Prof. Carl-Johan Engström, KTH May 8 2011 Urbanization is a trend that continues to sweep around the world, making cities a vital node for sustainable development. How we adapt and expand our urban areas to demographic and environmental pressures will thus have great consequences for the fate of the planet. Global Utmaning (Global Challenge) has recently released an anthology on urbanization and sustainability edited by Carl-Johan Engström, a long-time city planner and guest professor at the Royal Institute of Technology. He visits Think Globally Radio this Sunday to explain the principles of sustainable city planning and put them in context in the case of Stockholm and other Swedish cities.
