Webinar info:

Join us for an engaging City Dialogue Webinar bringing together London and Helsinki to discuss strategies and lessons learned in the transition towards sustainable urban infrastructure. This session will build on NLA’s latest report, Repower London, delving into the evolving approaches to decarbonising cities. 

 

Leaders and experts from both cities will explore best practices and highlight successes in understanding how to use complex networks of infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of local communities to enhance the urban landscape sustainably. This webinar will extend from a city-wide strategy to placed-based approach to share innovative frameworks for reducing carbon footprints through infrastructure improvements.
