Governments at every level are grappling with overlapping priorities: the urgent need to decarbonize, the pressure to expand housing supply and the growing demand for accessible transportation – all within the context of shrinking household budgets. How can we address these challenges simultaneously? This session explores the practical steps municipalities and other key players can take to align these interconnected goals, and why integrated policy design is essential to lasting progress. From EV-ready building codes to innovative shared mobility models and equitable access to charging infrastructure, panelists will discuss how cities can break down silos to build communities that are livable, low-carbon and affordable by default.
