Global Cities, Local Solutions
More than half the world’s population lives in urban areas which account for an estimated 76% of CO2 emissions from energy use. It is imperative that city officials act on climate change. These actions will not only decrease emissions, but also improve aging infrastructure and make their areas more attractive to residents and businesses.
The City Science Network is an international community of institutions and researchers that share the common goal of enabling more livable, equitable, and resilient communities. We propose that the grand transnational challenges of our era are best addressed in cities, one community at a time. ClimateTech is a conference hosted by MIT Technology Review in collaboration with City Science.
Dr. Arch. Ariel Noyman is an Urban Scientist, working to fuse cities and technology. As a Research Scientist in the MIT City Science group, he focuses on novel methods of urban modeling and simulation, future mobility, and decentralized decision-making. In recent years, Noyman helped to establish a worldwide network of City Science Living-Labs, in Hamburg, Andorra, Shanghai, Helsinki, and most recently in Israel, in an effort to confront his lab’s research with real-world challenges. Noyman's work received awards from the European Commission, the OECD, the Chinese, and the Israeli Gov., was featured by The Guardian, 60 Minutes, The New York Times, and was displayed in exhibitions, conferences, and summits worldwide. Before coming to MIT, Noyman practiced architecture, urban design, and city planning for over a decade in the US and EMEA. Noyman holds a PhD and a Master of Science from MIT and a Bachelor in Architecture (cum Laude) from Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem.
