The world’s cities will need to accommodate an additional 2.5 billion people by 2050. But what will this growth look like? We believe a combination of tall buildings and high density, along with progressive construction techniques and thoughtful, comprehensive planning, will help create cities with a high quality of life – a “sustainable vertical urbanism.” This podcast interviews the shapers of our urban landscapes, with the goal of enabling smarter, more sustainable cities and a more viable future for global populations.
