DESCRIPTION:More than half of the world’s population lives in urban area
 s. While cities and metropolitan areas contribute about 60 percent of glob
 al GDP\, they also account for about 70 percent of global carbon emissions
 . Many cities are struggling with traffic congestion\, pollution\, carbon 
 emission\, extreme weather and inadequate urban development. ‘Sustainabl
 e cities and communities’ – making cities inclusive\, safe\, resilient
  and sustainable\, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) s

 ainability. In this symposium\, seven speakers from different disciplines 
 – engineering\, economics\, architecture and climate science\, are invit
 ed to present and discuss the latest research on sustainable cities. The s
 ession will cover topics from the future of mobility\, urban development\,
  to buildings and real estate markets. We would like to invite you to join
