What does "sustainable urban living" actually look like? We will explore what makes a city sustainable, from the perspectives of its residents, administrators and surroundings. How can safety, environmental protection, energy security and climate change adaptation be designed into new and existing urban areas? What are the challenges that come with sustainable urban adaptation, how can we overcome these, and what are consequences if we continue to ignore the importance of creating sustainable cities?
