Philipp Rode presents on cities and the new climate economy in Kuwait

LSE Cities Executive Director Philipp Rode today gave the talk, Cities and the new climate economy: on the role of urban form and transport at Al-Shaheed Park in Kuwait City, Kuwait. The talk addressed both the key findings of research carried out by the New Climate Economy research project, while also discussing the Resource Urbanisms project, which includes the multi-scale temporal analysis of different types and changes of urban development in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi and two contrasting city types in East Asia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The talk was followed by a workshop entitled “Resource Urbanisms Kuwait.” More information is available here and coverage in the Kuwait Times here.
