PANEL 1 - Building Tomorrow's City: A Sustainable Haven for Nature and Humanity

25 Jun 2024
Cities & Nature Stage
Reset Connect London 2024

In the quest for a sustainable future, cities must evolve into ecosystems that not only coexist with nature but actively contribute to its well-being. This discussion delves into the imperative for cities to forge collaborative alliances, share knowledge, and translate aspirations into tangible, sustainable action. To thrive, residents require more than just physical spaces. They need vibrant communities, accessible amenities, quality healthcare, education, efficient public transport, ample employment opportunities, and pristine air. 

How can private capital synergize with local and regional authorities to yield optimal outcomes for communities? What circular models are cities exploring to not just survive but thrive in harmony with the environment? Help us explore the funding intricacies and sustainable frameworks essential for shaping the cities of tomorrow.
