In this episode Alice Charles, the Lead for Urban Transformation from the World Economic Forum, and Christian Deseglise, Group Head of Sustainable Infrastructure and Innovation at HSBC explore how cities are adapting their infrastructure – and how they are finding the investment needed to meet infrastructure demands. In particular, they explore a brand-new financial mechanism for sustainable infrastructure called FAST-Infra.
