Urban social inequalities: How can cities include people?

We would like to invite you to our “Cities and Jobs Series“ organized in collaboration with All Things Urban.

Cities only occupy 2% of the planet’s surface, but they accommodate more than 50% of the population. They consume 75% of global energy, produce 80% of global CO2 emissions, and they generate more than 80% of the global GDP today. These numbers put cities at the center of any discussion about global warming, urbanization, progress, and social

On these (3) three online webinars we will tackle conversations from “Urban Artificial Intelligence: how can we urbanise technology?” to “Urban Green Infrastructure: How can nature save cities” and “Urban social inequalities: How can cities include people?”

Join the conversation no matter where you are in the world!

Ruth draws on her own research and lived experiences, from South Africa, the UK, Mexico and the Netherlands, to show how inequalities manifest in many different ways within and across cities.
