Renowned archi­tect Car­ol Ross Bar­ney reveals how cities, while being human­i­ty’s great­est achieve­ment, are also one of the biggest con­trib­u­tors to cli­mate change. Click here to watch her talk.

Through com­pelling exam­ples from Chicago’s trans­for­ma­tion, she demon­strates how urban spaces can be reimag­ined for rad­i­cal sus­tain­abil­i­ty. She chal­lenges us to take respon­si­bil­i­ty for our urban futures, prov­ing that sus­tain­able cities aren’t just pos­si­ble — they’re essen­tial for human sur­vival. Her vision rede­fines urban spaces as solu­tions to our cli­mate crisis.
