The challenge of delivering truly carbon neutral city

Cities in the UK and around the world have set themselves ambitious net zero carbon targets. Advancing those is an imperative but how do we do that while still enabling liveable, thriving and prosperous places?

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by Gordon Affleck, a partner at 10 Design, Claudine Blamey, head of sustainability & digital strategy at Argent, Colin Hutchison, managing director at Elioth by Egis and Aref Lahham, managing director of Orion Capital Managers, to explore the challenges and opportunities of the carbon neutral city and how people’s behaviours will need to change to achieve these goals.

It is a conversation that very quickly turns to one about the need for regulation and a discussion that unapologetically raises the question of cost.

It is also a conversation that could have gone on for much longer, so keep your ears primed for round two in 2021 when we’ll take an even closer look at the economics of doing the right thing.
