Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment

 

On Wednesday the 19th March, over 240 people came to an evening event at the Science Festival co-hosted the Forum, CSaP and the Energy@Cambridge Initiative where a panel of speakers both from the Forum and the expert witnesses gave their vision of a sustainable city. While they were talking, the audience were asked to write their answers to two questions: 

  1. If you were planning a sustainable city, what would you include in it?
  2. What do you think are the most important ingredients in a sustainable city?
A broad variety of ideas were put forward, ranging from more places for nature within cities to designing the streets and suburbs we live in to improve our health and wellbeing.  We're bringing these together and results will be posted on this website and they will also be used as a starting point for a section of the Forum's output.
