A Multidisciplinary Approach to Developing Sustainable Communities

Around the globe targets for approaching or achieving zero emissions and carbon neutrality are being set by governments and corporations. Announcements are accelerating ahead of the upcoming COP 26 to be held this November in Glasgow. Achieving such reasonable goals in some places, and ambitious in others will require collaboration across geographic boundaries and disciplines of science. The built environment is estimated to be responsible for 40% of all carbon emissions, thus much reduction in these emissions can be achieved through innovations in how we build, connect, and retrofit our cities.

Dr. Radaideh will present the key elements of sustainability, share experience in developing and living in sustainable communities, and why multidisciplinary knowledge is key to developing truly sustainable and resilient communities.
