MIT's Adéle Naudé Santos, Dean and Professor of Architecture speaks with Edie Lush at Hub Davos 2252 views
Dean Santos discusses her concerns for rapid urban development and the future of urbanism. She's keenly concerned about the fact that we are building 'mega-cities' in India & China and that the pace of development is speeding up while environmental pressures are increasing.
Meanwhile, people are only productive when they have a decent place to live, and we're not always building an environment that promotes this.
In China, the high rise slab/apartment & tower sprawl that exists - single use (living only rather than mixed use - living/shopping/working) is incredibly destructive to the environment and unpleasant to live in. We need to be thinking now about the legacy we're leaving for the future.
