Editor's Notes
- The scale of the needed improvements in environmental efficiency demands systemic innovation. It requires system transitions, driven by more ambitious actions on policy, knowledge, investments and innovation For example: The objective is not to change the transport system (change of technology) but to change mobility => that means we need to change not only the way to move but also urban planning (public spaces, morphology, density, urban design), the way to use a city (to work, to live, to socialize), the organisation of the daily life, lifestyle, values, perception, etc. Solutions such as ‘Smart cities’ or ‘ecodistricts’ are not at the scale of the problem.
