The Club of Rome and The Hot or Cool Institute have launched a new initiative to explore the role of systems thinking in the built environment. The aim is to elevate the conversation around urban policy and planning, supporting the transition to sustainable urban systems that foster prosperity and wellbeing within planetary boundaries. In October 2024, they hosted a workshop in Brussels, bringing together experts and practitioners from the field. This video features interviews with attendees, highlighting the value they see in integrating systems thinking into the built environment and discussing how mainstreaming this approach could serve as a powerful lever for change.
