Today, half of the world’s population lives in cities. And by 2050, the UN predicts that two-thirds of the world’s population will do so. European neighbourhoods of the future will have less space and will face climate challenges they’ve never experienced before. But although heatwaves, downpours and flooding will become more regular, they are in fact manageable. Through sustainable and smart development, citizens of the future can look forward to greener, more liveable and more productive neighbourhoods than today.
