Sustainability, Norman Foster Foundation

Through interactive sessions, insightful discussions, and hands-on design exercises, we explore cutting-edge strategies encompassing (for example) renewable energy, green infrastructure, nature-based solutions, rewilding, carbon neutrality and drawdown, waste elimination, circular economies, sustainable transportation, social equity, indigenous reconciliation, and community engagement.
