Language : English Urbanisation is undisputable. In 2005, the global population became predominantly urban. In 2050 over 70% of all people will live in cities, producing 75% of the global GDP, consuming 75% of all energy and emitting 80% of global GHG emissions. Urban living places put a significant burden on the environment. The issues at stake in this urbanisation trajectory are huge: changing climate, scarcity of resources, exploding demographics, security, pollution, growing inequality, etc. While faced with such realities, the session aims at addressing them with reasonable pragmatic options and solutions for cities to efficiently manage density issues, preserve biodiversity and environment, address nuisances…while still offering prosperity. The session will also take a look at how cities need to be fed with water, power, and food, and so require the complex infrastructures that make this possible, while ensuring that all this is done in a sustainable manner. The session will also be the occasion to question the inherent relation between cities and rural areas, the detrimental effects of urban sprawl, and how to control or reverse it, and at the end of the day, how cities get functional to welcome a diverse urban population that aspire to live, move, work, consume, produce, and enjoy a better, prosperous, future. 2) Visitar el salón francés World Efficiency, que es el primer encuentro internacional que pone en relación los actores de los sectores público y privado que quieren pasar a una economía de bajo consumo en recursos y carbono proporcionándoles soluciones innovadoras. De manera complementaria al salón, la Cámara de Comercio Franco Chilena agendó visitas con asociaciones y empresas proactivas en cuanto al desarrollo de políticas y prácticas para la sostenibilidad y el medioambiente. Las visitas se combinarán con diversas charlas con personal de municipalidades francesas y personalidades públicas especialistas en estos campos. -
