Cities of the Future

The global effort for sustainability will be won, or lost, in the world’s cities, where urban design may influence over 70 percent of people’s Ecological Footprint. Global Footprint Network partners and city representatives will share the most innovative urban design strategies for reducing the Ecological Footprint of city populations and creating cities of the future. Which cities are building future resource traps? Which ones are building opportunities for resource-efficient and more competitive lifestyles?
