Culture for a Sustainable City

We live in this era: every year is the hottest on record, typhoons in November, marine resources are depleted, glaciers disappear, virgin forests are cleared, and species become extinct.

When the world sets "sustainable development" goals, and when every sector is implementing them? What is the cultural community doing? What should culture do? Can culture contribute to a sustainable city?

After giving more than 130 lectures on "How to Culture a City" in the past three years, Louis Yu is launching a new talk with the theme of "Culture for a Sustainable City", hoping to discuss with anyone who cares about culture, a pathway towards sustainable development.
