Towards Sustainable Cities is a research programme, quantifying the in-use benefits of aluminium in architecture and the built environment.
An invited audience of architects, designers, engineers, artists, fabricators and aluminium industry leaders were all brought together at the Towards Sustainable Cities Symposium, which was held in Kew Gardens, London, in October 2016. Audience views on the use of aluminium in durable, recyclable, sustainable buildings form part of this final report in the series.
