Waste Generation (now & 2025)
Urban form and density significantly impact energy consumption.
Source: Adopted from Kick the Habit: A UN Guide to Climate Neutrality
Spatial & Urban Form Determine Cities’ Energy Efficiency
Urban design will impact the low-carbon futures of sustainable cities
Environmental Policies Matter
Tracking CO2 emissions over the past forty years, the graph below depicts how some countries have moved in the context of urbanization
Urban form, income, consumption and lifestyle patterns all have an effect on CO2 emission levels.
Germany, Sweden & S. Africa outperform other countries in the model

The New Urban Agenda - Summary
Build ‘Sustainable Cities’ – Emergence of CitiesMore attention on Urban Form (and Management) Better City metrics Address backlog of basic services Smarter Financing Pick low-hanging fruits first, e.g. efficiency in buildings New financing tools Clear messaging through finance, e.g. tolls, tipping fees Green Bonds
New Partnerships New and improved Civil Engineering
