Skule(TM) Lunch & Learn: Building the future? Literally

Around the world, cities are racing to expand housing and infrastructure while facing the urgent challenge of staying within climate limits. Traditional approaches often fall short when timelines are tight and the stakes are high. 

Join Professor Shoshanna Saxe for an eye-opening talk on how short timelines for tackling big problems constrain the tools we can use—and innovative strategies that help us rapidly build a better world. Using climate change as a central example, Professor Saxe will explore how her research group leverages material stock and flow analysis, embodied greenhouse gas emissions and cutting-edge approaches to address housing and infrastructure growth without overshooting climate targets.  

Discover how bold thinking and data-driven solutions can transform the way we build for a sustainable future. 

Virtual: A Zoom link will be sent to all guests who registered.

Cost: Free
