Our Global Report addresses the future of cities globally, and introduces the approach and findings of PEAK Urban's five years of research across over 40 projects, from our innovative collaboration between research institutions in China, Colombia, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
PEAK Impacts | Evolving toward sustainability - The challenge for existing cities
Impact Case Study
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is the second most urbanised region in the world, with 80% of its population living in urban areas. But urban population growth in the region is now declining and is expected to grow below the world average over the next decades. Many existing cities are characterised by informal settlements, fragile, disaster-prone locations, and poorly planned development. How then can LAC cities become more sustainable?
Research and analysis by EAFIT University’s Research in Spatial Economics (RISE) group explores a range of evidence and interventions that could improve life for citizens and protect the environment in existing cities
