The Sustainability Transformation programme area is pleased to host a Governing Energy Transitions (GET-)together seminar by Raúl Castano De la Rosa. The seminar is held in auditorium H-007 of Ellen and Axel Lunds hus (EAL H-007) during 11:00-12:00 on Monday, 15 January 2024.
How to promote resilience in the built environment to multiple crises
An increasing number of unexpected crises and disruptions have emerged (e.g., wars, pandemic, extreme heatwaves, heavy flooding, and forest fires around the world) since the 90s. The way the built environment is designed, and transformed, plays an important role in both mitigating and adapting to simultaneous crises and disruptions. This talk illustrates how to implement key principles (greenery, diverse and adaptable, social, and inclusive and equitable infrastructures) to promote resilient built environment design and transformation. In the end, the built environment needs to be adaptable, diverse, inclusive, and co-produced with inhabitants, where green and social infrastructures are prioritized to promote resilience and well-being.
