Redesigning to adapt to the pressures of urban expansion - Coggle Diagram
Redesigning to adapt to the pressures of urban expansion
analysis of the redesign opportunity
Products, services and environments will need to adapt
consider the substantial growth within cities
projected to rise to 5 billion by 2030
predicted by the United Nations "Sustainable Cities" (United Nations 17 Sustainability Development Goals, 2019)
Challenges
urban congestion
shortage of adequate housing
declining infrastructure
rising pollution
forcing designers to continually find creative ways to weave sustainable developments into cities
without considerable cost to the environment
ideas devised in response to the problem
using divergent thinking strategies
circular design methods
