A panel discussion to mark the launch

On June 20, 2024, a panel discussion was held to officially mark the launch of the 13th Pop’Sciences Mag. The panel discussion, entitled “Can we adapt our cities to climate change with living things?” discussed possible ways to make tomorrow’s cities better places to live. The focus was on a range of measures to adapt the city to climate change (planting vegetation, designing buildings to take account of natural elements, reducing the artificial development of land, etc.), but also to enable all living things to live in the city more effectively (green and blue grids, etc.).

These questions are explored with contributions from:

  • Karine Lapray, energy and environmental engineer, research professor at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Lyon, and co-manager of the Tribu design office;
  • Hugues Mouret, Scientific Director of the ARTHROPOLOGIA organization.
