Alex Steffen was here!

Alex Steffen inspired us yesterday with his talk at the Danish Architecture Centre. He shared some notes and sketches on what is needed to create sustainable cities.

Among other things he underlined that you cannot change the big problems the world is facing with small individual steps. What is needed is system change. To quote him: " it is not just about doing something but about doing the right thing! We need to bring skilled people together and mix disciplines." He underlined that, Copenhageners should use the enormous possibility from hosting COP15 and through this really leapfrog and create the bright green future we want.

Alex provoked us: "We talk about stopping environmental disasters but often we neglect to talk about the specific positive futures we want to create."
