The Summit will explore the challenges of achieving sustainability in these cities, which must balance their role as a home to hundreds of millions of people with their role as major throughways for goods and knowledge in an interconnected world. The Summit features sustainability thought leaders from industry and academia.
Half of the world population and three-quarters of all large cities are located on the coast. 634 million people are at risk from rising water levels. That is only one example of the variety of challenges coastal cities face, effecting policies, businesses, entrepreneurs, research and human well-being. How will our world landscapes change as a result? New York City, Shanghai, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro—many coastal cities are nexuses for the global economy.
The conference will defy traditional notions of urban development to ask how coastal cities can sustain themselves and continue to grow as the climate changes and their local environments deteriorate. Register now to learn what the future holds for these cities, what complex problems and exciting solutions exist and what they mean to you and the work you do, and how you can help overcome them to build sustainable coastal cities.+The MIT Sustainability Summit – Coastal Cities, Sustainable Future @ MIT Media Lab (all-day)
