//Introduction//

Failure to limit global warming will cause significant disruption to business. No economy is immune to the impact, and no action is not an option.

To build cities fit for the future, we need to think differently. Rooftop clean energy, flexible multi-function buildings, the restorarion of peri-urban wetlands, and underground and/or communal farming are just some of the changes that will be coming. With collaboration and collective vision, we can leave a legacy fit for the future but what does the roadmap look like to achieve this?
