Cities face mounting pressure to reduce emissions and transition to more sustainable energy and transport systems. Urban mobility remains a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, but the broader energy landscape—including infrastructure, consumption patterns, and renewable deployment—is equally critical. Rapid urbanisation, inefficient transport networks, and legacy energy systems make it difficult for cities to meet climate targets and manage their environmental footprint.
Cities are increasingly exposed to the impacts of climate change, with public spaces—such as parks, plazas, schools or transport hubs—bearing the brunt of extreme events as well as long-term trends in temperature, precipitation or sea-level rise. Flooding, heatwaves, and storm damage not only disrupt daily life but also pose serious threats to public safety, infrastructure, and the livability of urban environments. These risks are often unevenly distributed, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations or low-income neighbourhoods.
