Moonshot: CityMoonshot City Episode 13 Rohan McMahon 2020 - 09 - 29Cities as we already know, are complex, they will become home to 60% of the global population by 2030. Cities are already the epicenter of some of the largest environmental impacts carbon emissions, transport resources, and hence present some of the biggest opportunities for impact. So what must we consider? Could we look at cities from an emerging technologies perspective? How can disruptive technologies and advancements help us tackle emissions waste or transport? And what are cities already doing?2020-10-2029 min

Moonshot: CityEp10 Iain White The 20 Minute CityThe 20 minute city is defined around an area with a radius of about five kilometres – about a 20 minute public transport or cycle trip – with a potential population catchment of around 200,000 people. This size and structure could be home to a number of communities and neighbourhoods that between them offer most of the services, activities and social infrastructure to meet essential people needs. There are many features that need to be considered in a 20 minute city neighbourhood or city - local employment, affordable and diverse housing and integrated transport to name some of the key ones.
So does a 20 minute city fram...2020-09-0237 min
Moonshot: CityEpisode 9 - Jonathon Porritt on Hope in Hell: A Decade to Confront Climate ChangeJonathon talks about short-termism that has led to the Climate Crisis and what can be done about it. He also elaborates on how Climate needs to be treated differently. Climate change is not just an environmental issue. It is an economic and existential issue.
Jonathan is inspired by the incredible upsurge of new energy from young people in particular and from movements like Extinction Rebellion. He sees a phenomenal opportunity now to move the climate debate into a different space with dire urgency because the science tells us that it's not going to be ‘not too late’ for much longer.

Moonshot: CityEpisode 7 - Katja Hansen on Cradle to Cradle Principles & Insights for CitiesCradle to Cradle is a set of design principles which was developed in the 1990s by Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart, William McDonough and EPEA Hamburg. The Cradle to Cradle (C2C) paradigm reframes design as a positive, regenerative force — just like nature, promoting infinite circulation of materials and nutrients in cycles. Rather than seeking to minimise the harm we inflict, this paradigm shift reveals opportunities to improve quality, increase value and spur innovation. It inspires us to constantly seek improvement in our designs, and to share our discoveries with others. How might Cradle to Cradle principles guide us to re-imagine ou...2020-06-1033 min
Moonshot: CityEpisode 6 - Mariane Jang on Resilient Transport for Resilient CitiesResilient transport systems recognise the interdependencies between the transport infrastructure and other city systems such as water, energy, waste, economy, health, education etc. They understand the risks to the transport system, whether natural, such as earthquakes or flooding or man-made risks, such as ageing infrastructure. When building back infrastructure, cities need to not only be prepared for the next disaster but also must consider what what other kinds of disasters might occur and what other kind of benefits could be build in.

Moonshot: CityEpisode 4 - Debbie O'Byrne on the Circular Economy Opportunity for CitiesA circular economy is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Where sustainability is good at defining the problem, around the world, people are looking to circular economy models to provide the solutions we need. But how can we move from circular theory to practice in the context of our cities?
