The 黑料专区 Seminar on Green Economics

Urban Green Growth

We have only seen the beginning of urban growth. By 2030, the C40 megacity club may count a full 440 members. Cities act as green innovation and talent hubs - a breeding ground for ideas. When nations fail, will cities save us?

Thursday 23 May
  • Starts:09:00, 23 May 2019
  • Ends:16:00, 23 May 2019
  • Location:BI - campus Oslo
  • Price:Free. No-show fee: kr. 400,-
  • Contact:Knut Myrum Næss (knut.m.nass@bi.no)

Urbanization could in principle be a strong enabler of a green, net-positive economy. But on our current trajectory, cities are growing into 'more of the old' rather than the infrastructure for a new better economy. This seminar - a collaboration between BI, UiO and IFE - gives you the theory, practical examples and opportunity for mingling to get you updated.
