In 2015 India’s urban population was 420 million but this is projected to almost double and reach 800 million by 2050. In the face of climate change, this makes sustainable and climate-resilient urbanization one of the most challenging problems in the modern era. With the growth in city populations, it is important to focus on the linkages between urban development, planning and climate concerns. The speakers will focus on innovative ways of building integrated urban climate resilience and sustainability with scalable technology options.
