Design and Politics. #3 Climate Changing our Cities
Climate change has a maximum impact on our cities. Urgently there is a new 'cool city' at stake in climate-proofing the city against heat waves, water shortages and torrential rains; that is at once economically viable, socially resilient and climatically sustainable, and critically, that is only possible through the mobilisation of new alliances between design and governance.
