Cities are leading the transition to a post-carbon economic model and envision sustainability in all three dimensions: environmental, social, and economic. In this lecture, Max Gruenig, President of the Ecologic Institute US, focuses on three primary sustainability areas: urban mobility, water management, and energy-efficient buildings. Across these topics, he demonstrates how cities increasingly recognize that a sustainable future is rooted in their citizens and, hence, requires an open-ended participatory model focusing on dialogue and collaboration.
