About this webinar

As a key player in the design of the built environment, you - and other design professionals - are in a position to positively impact the communities in which we live, work and play by being an instrument for change. As more people than ever before live in cities, their livability is put to the test. Your design decisions and the building practices you espouse weigh on an increasing number of city dwellers. Find out what you can do to positively affect the quality and sustainability of city life by designing for livability.
