Commonwealth Sustainable Urbanisation Online Programme: Session 9

Commonwealth Sustainable Cities

Upscaling Delivery of Climate Responsive Design

As part of preparations for the 2020 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that was due to be held in Kigali, Rwanda this month, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the Commonwealth Association of Architects, the Commonwealth Association of Planners, and the Commonwealth Local Government Forum, with support from The Prince’s Foundation, the Rwandan Ministry of Infrastructure, the Rwandan Ministry of Local Government, the Commonwealth Engineers Council and others, have been working together to promote sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth.With nearly 50% of the projected increase in the world’s urban population to 2050 forecast to be in the Commonwealth, there has never been a more important time for members of the Commonwealth to come together to tackle the challenges of climate change and rapid urbanisation; challenges which have now been compounded by the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.A Programme of online sessions has been created, all of which focus on engaging with the theme of sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth. For more information please head to www.commonwealthsustainablecities.org/onlineprogramme. This event will be jointly hosted by the Commonwealth Association of Architects and INTBAU (the International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism), and will focus on local and traditional methods of designing and building from across the Commonwealth. Adapted to climate and context, these methods are naturally sustainable and low carbon, and can be easily adapted to meet 21st century needs.The session will be co-chaired by Harriet Wennberg, INTBAU and Peter Clegg, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. The panel will include: <ul><li>Yasmeen Lari, Architect and founder of the Heritage Foundation of Pakistan</li><li>Peter Rich, Architect, Light Earth Designs</li><li>Lauren Shevills, Architects Climate Action Network and Architects Declare</li><li>Inhee Chung, Global Green Growth Institute</li><li>Fatou Dieye, SKAT Consultancy</li></ul>There will be plenty of time for an interactive Q&A session.By registering for this event you will receive a unique link to the Zoom Webinar registration page.
