Transforming the Built Environment: A Systems Thinking Approach for Sustainable Urban Futures
This joint report by
The Club of Rome and the
Hot or Cool Institute explores how cities can evolve into low-carbon, resilient and equitable spaces through holistic approaches that recognise the deep interconnections between environmental, social and economic systems. Aimée Aguilar Jaber, Tatiana Samsonova
et al highlight the current fragmented and reactive nature of urban planning that often reinforces inequality, environmental degradation and social disconnection. They introduce a systems-based framework to equip policymakers with the tools needed to reshape urban development. Grounded in case studies and insights from urban policy and planning experts, the report presents actionable recommendations, including regenerative design, community co-creation and cross-sectoral decision-making, to drive the deep, structural changes needed to enable sustainable, inclusive and resilient urban spaces.
