Cities Under Pressure: A Deep Dive into Urban Geology and Climate Impact

December 10, 2024

The 'Cities Under Pressure' event at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences on 4th December was a fantastic opportunity to bring together experts from geology, urban planning, and environmental research.

Showcasing the premiere of the Urban Geo-Climate Footprint documentary, Francesco La Vigna emphasised that "Cities are increasingly at the forefront of geological and climate challenges, making tools like the Urban Geo-Climate Footprint essential for building resilience and fostering collaboration."
