Welcome to Episode 4 of 'It Takes a Global Crisis', a series of four special episodes produced by the UN Library & Archives Geneva in collaboration with the SDG Lab. In this last episode, we explore sustainable cities.  

According to the United Nations, about 2 out of every 3 people will be living in cities or urban centres by 2050. Did it take a global crisis like the pandemic to highlight what we need for the future of cities? To ensure safe, livable, sustainable spaces? Let’s find out, as our host Edward Mishaud speaks with Dr. Agata Krause, Head of the 2030 Agenda and International Relations at the Center for Sustainable Development, Trondheim Kommune in Norway, and Dr. Bernadia Irawati Tjandradewi, the Secretary General of United Cities and Local Governments Asia-Pacific.
