LSE on Cities, Design and Climate Change

This talk from LSE, is an academic overview of the future design of cities in the context of climate change. The speakers include Saskia Sassen, Richard Sennet and Jonathon Porritt, each providing their own insights on the topic.
As cities contribute up to 75 percent of total carbon emissions, this is a talk we should all listen to. Saying that, I would save it for a time when you are highly alert (maybe even with a double espresso by your side!) as the speakers express themselves from a very theoretical point of view, sometimes lacking emotion. If you do manage to get to the end of the talk, you will be rewarded by having a better understanding of the complex problems at play within this subject.
LSE have a large archive of equally informative podcasts on critical topics, ranging from economics through to art and science.
