Program 2
London 2020 - Global Smart and Sustainable City (2 weeks)
In an ever changing world it has become important to see how we can build a sustainable future. Sustainability can take many forms from building efficiencies, energy systems, logistics and design. The aim of the summer school is to explore the responses of the professional community to the challenge of improving sustainability. London faces several challenges. In the mayor’s plan, the drivers are clear, fuelled by increasing constraints on urban resources, such as transport, energy and healthcare and our desire to provide attractive and enjoyable places to live and work. London also has to plan for population growth and avoid peak-load and congestion on its infrastructure. The summer school will teach students how London is adapting to these challenges by becoming a leading smart city and building on its technical prowess. Students will be able to apply these to other cities and see how cities can learn from London’s success.
Program 3
