Lecture Brief
In the Era of Radical Transitions, I explore shifts in urban planning, design, and development post-industrial, energy, and health crises. This interdisciplinary study examines urban transformation, sustainable practices, and innovative governance. Investigating economic restructuring, fossil fuel transition, and pandemic lessons, I offer insights for equitable, sustainable, and resilient cities.
