Urban Design, Climate Destiny at New York Climate Week
RegisterAbout This Event
The shape of our cities isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the hidden engine driving global greenhouse emissions. From transportation and embodied carbon to energy consumption and what we eat, neighborhood layouts dictate more than you think. With over 150 countries committed to the COP goal of doubling energy efficiency improvements, human-centered urban development may be the most powerful lever we have. Climate-friendly urbanism isn’t just good for the planet; it creates neighborhoods that keep us healthier, happier, and more connected.
In this session at Climate Week NYC, Gehl is partnering with RMI to introduce a new framework for taking control of our climate destiny by reshaping our cities. Join policy leaders and design pros in an interactive discussion on how to make this vision a reality.
We’ll focus on what really matters: new policies, fresh funding approaches, and the human-centered design needed to decarbonize our world and build neighborhoods we want to live in.
