The shareable future of cities

Solving climate change is not just about clean energy but about reinventing how cities are built and lived in. With almost eight billion people soon living in or near cities, the way urban spaces are designed will decide our energy use. Denser neighborhoods mean fewer car trips, turning dream homes into dream neighborhoods. By rethinking access, sharing resources, and building smarter systems below the surface, cities can slash emissions and unlock new possibilities.
