Urban areas are home to 50% of the world’s population and important economic engines. Environmental impacts of urban life and development ranging from pollution to habitat destruction are significant and - critically - due to grow with urbanization predicted to reach 70% by 2050. It is thus imperative to radically rethink the functioning and design of urban environments.

This proposal brings together three institutions with complementary expertise in sustainable, green (low-carbon) building construction, modelling of energy/water use in buildings and urban environments, urban design and planning. The partners will jointly research and develop novel approaches of employing green infrastructure (GI) to enhance urban sustainability that are sensitive to local culture, knowledge and expertise, and to promote context sensitive solutions. This will be achieved through a series of workshops hosted by the three partners that will bring together expert and local knowledge to critically explore how GI practices can be successfully transferred from one location to another.
