The Mayor of London has committed the capital to reaching Net Zero by 2030. With a declared climate emergency how should we tackle this massive challenge? How can ordinary people make a difference in the face of a threat to life on earth itself? And does economic growth have to come at the expense of the environment?
Many boroughs have started to embrace more sustainable forms of transport. We need to get out of our cars and walk and cycle more. But this requires not just new infrastructure but a change of mindset.
Join Antony Robbins aka Mr Londoner in Bankside to discover some unexpectedly beautiful green spaces and hear about the exciting new plans for the Low Line. This ambitious strategy re-images a new and greener future for the neighbourhood’s network of mighty Victorian viaducts. While celebrating Bankside’s industrial past, we will explore ideas around re-imagining these viaducts as a green corridor promoting active travel and linking people, places and sustainable businesses. We’ll also examine broader global policy approaches – eg the ’15-minute city’ concept – that might help deliver a healthier and happier future in greener, cleaner and safer neighbourhoods.
