Part of the RIBA Architecture & Climate Change Talks Arup director, Peter Head explores how the world can begin to make the transition towards an ecological age of civilization.

Through this talk, he explores how human development is now following a dangerously unsustainable path globally, with waves of investment in low and middle income countries accelerating this problem as they follow an unsustainable model.

In particular, he focusses on urban areas and methods of food production which consume land and non-renewable resources inefficiently and how, in order to do something to turn the situation around, we will have to move towards an ecological age.
