正文(英文) | Celebrating Professor Xuemei Bai’s work, this seminar will explore how rapidly growing cities can be made more livable, sustainable and resilient, both for their own inhabitants and for the surrounding regions and globally. What are the biggest challenges and how can science help shape the cities that are to be built this century? And what can the global north and the global south mutually learn from our different experiences of urbanization? Read more about Professor Bai’s research at www.environment-prize.com. Millions of people migrate to cities every year in one of the most significant demographic transformations in human history. More than half of the world’s population already live in urban areas, and by 2050 it is projected to reach more than two-thirds. Most of urban growth is now happening in Asia, Africa and Latin America. These rapidly growing cities play a critical role in both causing and potentially solving many of today's sustainability challenges. For example, 75 percent of the CO2-emissions from energy use can be traced back to cities. Urban centres also drive land-use change through their increasing demand for food and other goods and services from outside of their city limits.

The seminar is jointly hosted by the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, Future Earth and the Volvo Environment Prize Foundation.
