Zunz 2022 – Infrastructure resilience for uncertain times
Our cities are the epicentres of crisis, from the global pandemic to the intensifying impacts of climate change. Rapid change is urging people, communities and cities to rethink urban spaces and how they will provide a resilient and sustainable future.
In this constant state of flux, what is the right response for the best long-term outcome? How do we adjust? How do we press the reset button on our cities?
To help us tackle these big questions, we are bringing together thought leaders and industry experts to unravel how we find a new balance for a low-carbon world.
Ainsley Simpson, Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s CEO, will join us to discuss what a new balance could mean for cities. Dr Jennifer Schooling, Director of the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction at Cambridge University, will join us virtually to provide an international lens on our most pressing issues.
We also welcome a cross-industry panel to stretch and test our future thinking, including:
- Craig Kerslake, Managing Director, Nguluway DesignInc
- Michelle Tabet, Founder and Director, Left Bank Co
- Emily Gentilini, Sustainability and Built Environment Policy Specialist, Arup
- Dr Scott Dwyer, Research Director, Institute for Sustainable Futures
