This week, I’m joined by Andreas Qvist Secher, sustainability expert and founder of Urban Upstream, to explore how we can rethink growth, regeneration, and responsibility in urban design.

We dive into how to make cities work within planetary limits:

✅ What “urban metabolism” means for the way we build

✅ Why we must move from growth to transformation

✅ How certifications like DGNB can drive real change

✅ The global responsibility of cities in the climate era

“We can’t leave this planet as it looks like we’re going to leave it.”

Could building less be the real future of sustainability? 🌱
