Event Synopsis
|
Covid-19 has changed the way we live, work and play. With the World Cities Summit (WCS) rescheduled to 20 – 24 June 2021, the CLC Webinar Series: Cities Adapting to a Disrupted World takes WCS 2021’s theme to explore how cities can respond in an increasingly volatile world. With topics like Healthy Cities, Car-lite Cities, Smart Cities, Resilient Cities and City in Nature, we convene experts and leaders from the WCS community to discuss how cities can continue to be liveable and sustainable, despite growing dislocations from pandemics, the climate crisis, social shifts and new technologies.
Throughout its nation-building journey, Singapore’s efforts to manage water resources, protect natural landscapes, and cultivate vegetation have been crucial elements underpinning the city’s liveability. Ranging from infrastructure systems to social history, Professor Peter G. Rowe will share how these unique strategies and effective practices have transformed the city into a “clean and green” powerhouse, and how this puts the city in good stead to respond to disruptions resulting from climate change. |
