Cities account for 70% of global emissions: how they are designed, constructed, managed, and powered will lock in behavior, lifestyles, and future urban greenhouse gas emissions. Using the
MIT-Kendall Square district of Cambridge as a case study, Kent Larson presents a series of urban interventions that could dramatically reduce emissions while simultaneously improving the residents' quality of life and economic opportunities. If taken to scale in cities worldwide, these hyper-local solutions would help address the grand
challenges of our era.
