Mott MacDonald Fellow, Clare Wildfire, will provide an insight into how we continue to grow and develop our urban spaces and infrastructure using emerging new climate and carbon solutions and business models.

Cities host some of the largest infrastructure assets, as well as people and communities, businesses, rivers and precious natural environment. How do we address climate impacts, provide access to all, improve health outcomes in an integrated, effective way to allow our urban spaces to thrive, grow and be enjoyed by all? Examples will be discussed, including how cities like London, Coventry and Glasgow are tackling city scale decarbonisation, with metrics shared from global examples of positive impacts.

We look forward to seeing you online on Wednesday 9 July.

From her 35 years’ experience in the sector, she combines her practical understanding of construction and development drivers, with policy engagement.

Clare is a member of the Mayor of London’s Infrastructure Advisory Panel and last year co-authored a report on making London’s infrastructure and communities more inclusive, with Transport for London and Places for London. She is also part of an industry-led collaboration of infrastructure organisations supporting the UK transition to net-zero, authoring a seminal report ‘A place-based approach to net zero’ on the city-scale transition.
