Description

Cities, both in the North and in the South, will run into trouble if they do not get a grip on their own metabolism. Flows of energy, food, water, material and waste are growing fast. The PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency stages an international debate on the global challenges that cities face. Participants are Mark Swilling (Stellenbosch University, UNEP IRP), Philipp Rode (London School of Economics), Joyeeta Gupta (University of Amsterdam) and John Urry (Lancaster University).
