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.
Marcela Martínez Bascuñán is the Director of City Science Lab Biobio. The laboratory's research focuses on studying the communities that inhabit territories with essential challenges for the city, identifying the impacts of implementing public policies, and achieving a joint vision of the future in dimensions such as housing, transportation, public spaces, safety, and recreation.
Marcela did her studies in Geography, with a Master's degree in Geographic Analysis, all at the University of Concepción, Chile. She also has a master's degree in territorial studies and planning from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain.
Marcela has professional experience in transport systems planning, spatial analysis, and studying the impacts of urban projects and infrastructure. Her research interests include socio-spatial inequality in cities and accessibility/mobility to urban services, contributing to the sustainable development of cities in the south of Chile.
