#5 Sustainable Transportation and Smarter City Logistics

 

The movement of goods is as essential to our daily lives as the movement of people. However, it’s also a major contributor to ‎traffic congestion, noise, and emissions, especially in urban areas. As global trade grows, cities ‎and regions must rethink how freight operates to become more efficient, less polluting, and ‎better integrated with sustainable urban planning.‎

Guest: Ola Qasseer, Urban Planner

#4 Circular Architecture and the Challenge of Building with Less Waste

 

In this episode, we explore the topic of circular architecture and how we can design ‎and build with less waste. The construction sector is one of the largest consumers of raw materials ‎and a major producer of waste globally. Traditional linear models, where we extract, build, and ‎dispose, are problematic because we currently witness their effect on climate change, resource ‎depletion, and ecological degradation.‎ Circular architecture offers a different approach where we can reuse instead of dispose.‎

#3 Rethinking Waste and Water in Urban Sustainability

 

In this episode, we talk about waste and water, two elements of urban life that we often overlook, yet which hold normous potential for environmental transformation. How we manage our trash and our water can either be a part of the problem or a part of the solution to climate change.

#2 Civil society and sustainability

 

In this episode, we explore how individuals and communities are taking action to promote sustainability in their own backyard. We discuss the role of civil society in promoting sustainability and the power of civil action ‎to drive meaningful change.‎

#1 Rethinking Urban Mobility

 

From the design of cities to the way we move within them, every aspect of our built environment plays a crucial role in shaping our environmental footprint. Transportation, in particular, stands at the intersection of sustainability and urban planning, offering opportunities to rethink how we move people and goods while minimizing environmental impact.
