As cities burgeon, isn't it time to consider the unspoken hero in urban planning - sustainable development? 🌱 Sustainable development in smart cities is more than just a buzzword; it's a blueprint for the future. As we push the boundaries of technology, integrating sustainability into every facet of urban life becomes not only ideal but essential. From green buildings that reduce energy consumption to smart transportation systems that cut down carbon emissions, the opportunities are endless. Yet, the challenge lies in navigating the complexities of implementing these solutions. How do we ensure that our pursuit of technological advancement doesn't come at the expense of our planet? The answer is through innovative thinking and collaborative efforts. Let's spearhead a movement where technology and sustainability walk hand in hand towards creating cities that are not only smarter but greener and more livable for future generations. Are you ready to be part of this transformative journey?

Our cities are facing immense changes: Megatrends and upheavals are leaving clear traces, including in the structures of use. 🏢 Shopping malls, factories, parking lots and movie theaters - many of these properties and business models are facing a radical reassessment of their functionality and productivity. 🔄 From a market economy perspective, changes in use are nothing unusual: the old makes way for the new, perhaps even better. Instead of leaving these areas to speculation, we should see this obsolescence as an opportunity for urban development geared to the common good. This is the conviction of Constantin Alexander, sustainability consultant and scientist at Leuphana University Lüneburg and team member of the "Obsolete City" research project funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung. 👉 Curious how this can work?
