Lecture by David Goldfield organised in partnership with the U.S. Embassy

Almost 80 percent of Americans live in metropolitan areas.  Moving to cities is a worldwide trend.  If we are to react to climate change responsibly and protect the environment for generations to come, cities must play a major role in these efforts. There are already numerous examples of how American cities are responding to the challenges of the environment through a variety of initiatives. Some of these examples build on initiatives begun in the early twentieth century.
