Being Sustainable is not Enough!... towards Regenerative Urbanism | CHINTAN RAVESHIA | TEDxTiESG

CRAFTING THE FUTURE CITIES :Being Sustainable is Not Enough

We have reached a point where simply ‘being sustainable’ in the way we live, work and consume, while keeping to current levels of rapid urbanisation and economic activity, is not going to help us avoid the worst impacts of climate change. According to Chintan Raveshia, who leads the Southeast Asian Cities team at Arup, we need to do much more. Governments, city planners and designers need to band together in a collective and concerted effort – from the top-down and bottom-up – to rethink our design approach and work towards being restorative. One way is to “stop building more roads for cars, and start designing streets for people,” says Chintan, a seemingly slight perception change that has a huge potential for positive economic, environmental and social impacts.
