Can you imagine a future where cities contribute more to the environment than they extract?
That future is not only possible, it’s vital. This June 25, join us for our #DesignIsEverywhere podcast live show where we’ll explore how we can all work towards a future where cities and the environment are in harmony. In this episode, host Sam Aquillano will be joined by guest host Jonelle Simunich, Foresight Strategist, Consultant + Integrator at Arup, as well as special guest Dr. Chris Luebkeman, leader of Strategic Foresight Hub at ETH Zurich and Co-Founder of [y]our 2040.
