Spatialising Climate Policy on the Eve of COP31: From Global Targets to Resilient Cities in the Turkic World
The talk looks at how climate commitments can be turned into spatial planning decisions so that they do not stay on paper. The interdependence of water, energy, food and ecosystems is read at city and river-basin scale, drawing on ND İmar's regional and urban planning experience across the Turkic world.
