How cities become resource efficient | Ana Pereira Roders | TEDxHamburg

Ana Pereira Roders on how cities become resource efficient at TEDxHamburg (www.tedxhamburg.de).

Ana Pereira Roders is a theoretical architect working at the intersection of architecture, urban planning, law, environmental management and computer sciences. She wants to rewrite urban theory, to reveal how efficiently cities can use their resources, in relation to standards and values. Her latest work uses UNESCO World Heritage nominations in urban settings, to discuss impact evaluation of policies and projects, based on their conservation status. Protected Urban Planet is a step towards more ambitious goals, enabling real-time big data analytics and co-authorship of urban theory.

Currently, she is an assistant professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, and the founding co-editor of the Journal of Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainable Development, Emerald, UK.
