UCL Public Lecture

Last week I gave a lecture in the UCL Public Lecture series under the title 'Energising the City' in which I presented the argument for tackling energy consumption and carbon emissions at the urban level and considered some visualisations of what a low energy, low carbon city might look like. These drew on the scenarios in the Foresight report 'Powering Our Lives', which we are developing within the CLUES project. I also tried to convey the essence of the co-evolution framework with its view of technological development and innovation as inherently inter-linked with cultural change, economic frameworks and governance dynamics. The videoing of the lecture broke down unfortunately but the slides with an audio commentary (about 25 mins) is available at:
