Urban Design, Climate Destiny

The shape of our cities isn’t just a backdrop—it’s the hidden engine driving global greenhouse emissions. From transportation and embodied carbon to energy consumption and what we eat, neighborhood layouts dictate more than you think.

Climate-friendly urbanism isn’t just good for the planet; it creates neighborhoods that keep us healthier, happier, and more connected.

In this session, Gehl, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Institute, introduces a new framework for taking control of our climate destiny by reshaping our cities. Join policy and design leaders in an interactive discussion on making this vision a reality.

We’ll focus on what really matters: new policies, fresh funding approaches, and the human-centered design needed to decarbonize our cities and build neighborhoods we’ll want to live in.
