The Norman Foster Foundation Presents The ‘Future Of Cities’ Conversations Series
Madrid, 24 November 2021 – In the face of crises like climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, effective and positive change in cities is an imperative condition to optimising public health, social equity and environmental sustainability for urban centres and the rest of the world.
