With the right mindset and proper technologies, living a sustainable life is not impossible even in an urban area. Steven Cornwell of ERA-co joins Corinna Bellizzi once more, this time to discuss how to build regenerative cities. Together, they explain what it takes to create sustainable living spaces while considering carbon neutrality, the hybrid future of work, and the rise of electric mobility. They talk about achieving a balance between people's density and infrastructure while shedding light on the unabated issue of overpopulation. Steven also explores the various lessons New York City and many urban areas in the United States can learn from other places around the world. He explains how European cities excel in reducing carbon footprint and why everyone would soon opt for shared living spaces just like in Asian countries.
