Mat Santamouris, the Anita Lawrence Professor of High-Performance Architecture at the University of New South Wales in Australia, is my guest this week.
Professor Santamouris discusses combating urban climate change through the synergy of research and perceptions, science and politics:
- Enhancing communication of fragmented urban policies and activities between the different sectors.
- The measures to overcome energy poverty, a problem for developing and developed countries.
- The positive integration of nanoscale photonics with quantum dots, as part of the tremendous revolution in material science.
- Boosting the environmental quality of local climate change by making novel materials accessible to society.
- The global and complex relations between society, technology, economy and policymaking.
- Meaningful impact on decision-making by politicians as a result of well informing and educating the worldwide public by scientists.
