Low-cost, low-cost tech, reuse and recycling of local urban resources are the focus of this talk. Reducing the causes of higher CO2 emissions, such as material transport to and from the site, will be discussed. Involving local residents and sharing knowledge and experiences with all generations and gender groups will also be explained. Finally, the talk will highlight the mutual learning aspect with local communities (the actual users) and how they play an important role as urban change agents and space makers.

The Urban Future Conference is the premier conference for experts, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who make cities sustainable. Held in a different city each year (this year in Stuttgart), thousands of City Changers from around the world share how they are creating change and the mistakes they are making to accelerate change and successfully shape the future of our cities.
