2024
14 November 2024, 17:30 – 20:00 | Book Launch | ETH Zürich, Design in Dialogue (DiD) Lab, E25, ONA, Neunbrunnestrasse 50, 8050 Zürich Oerlikon.
This event will launch the edited Volume, ‘Transitioning to Sustainable Cities and Communities’. The publication features scholarly articles and interviews from leading experts working in various fields anchored in urban design and architecture, many of whom will be in attendance. Each piece in the volume addresses the challenges and opportunities prompted by the SDG11, and by extension, the climate crisis.
As a whole, the volume illuminates and showcases novel research and design approaches to deal with issues like safety, air pollution, inequality, geopolitics, post-war planning and other key topics for cities and communities. As a result, the volume addresses not only academics, city planners, architects and urban designers, but anybody for whom these issues are relevant. Drawing largely from examples in the Global South, where various forms of scarcity give rise to inclusive and sustainable solutions for the entire world, the volume aims to meet the challenge of the multi-crises of the 21st century through evidence-based experiences, case studies, and projects.
