Next Generation Industry Innovation Driving Cities Transformation

This salon session explores how emerging industries—spanning the green economy, climate infrastructure, circular construction, and new mobility—are transforming urban planning and design. Featuring projects from Buro Happold’s Advisory practice, the presentation demonstrates how innovation is actively reshaping the built environment, demanding new planning paradigms and long-term policy vision. The course highlights cross-disciplinary approaches that align infrastructure design and economic development with equity and sustainability. Projects include NYC Climate Exchange, SPARC, the NYC Green Economy Plan and the NYC Environmental Justice Report showcasing real-world applications of forward-thinking planning for next-generation sectors.
