Gaia Vince - How Can Cities Save Humanity?

In this episode we speak to Gaia Vince; Guardian journalist, Scientist, Author, and Broadcaster.

Gaia spent 2 years researching her first book, Adventures in the Anthropocene’ by travelling, largely in the global South, witnessing the impact humanity has had on the world.

In her latest book ‘Nomad Century’, Gaia sets out how we need to start planning now for the impact of climate change on global migration, as many parts of the world become uninhabitable.

“Cities are the answer… by the end of the century, almost everyone will live in cities… and this is a good thing because energy, water… all of these things are more efficient”.

This is a fascinating discussion about how we need to plan for a century of upheaval, and what this means for the Built Environment today.
