Planning for low-build solutions to achieve Net Zero – An interactive webinar | Online | 28 Nov 2023
The best way to reduce carbon emissions from construction is to build less. While methods of reducing embodied carbon are evolving, this technology alone is unlikely to reduce emissions in alignment with the targets we have set. Planners and policy makers have an opportunity to provide another solution - designing cities that can meet their growing community’s mobility and lifestyle needs while minimising the necessity of carbon-intensive, new builds. The benefits of this approach extend far beyond just emissions reduction, impacting housing supply, health, and lifestyle factors to name a few.
This webinar featured industry experts in this field and included an interactive component following the presentations, where attendees can ask questions and contribute to the discussion.
Facilitated by AITPM CEO, Kirsty Kelly, the webinar featured three great presentations, including an international speaker from the UK:
- Peter Kartsidimas - Director of Networks and Planning | Infrastructure Victoria
- Sara Stace - Director of Cities | WSP in Australia
- Tim Sullivan - Principal Transport Planner - Net Zero | WSP in Australia
- Simon Pope - Technical Director | WSP in the UK
