Sustainable Urbanism, Copenhagen Cafe - SF Carbon Collaborative

In 2008, for the first time, a majority of the earth's population was residing in cities. This urban migration coupled with the developing world becoming more "developed" suggests great challenges as well as great opportunties for a sustainable futre.
