Guest Lecturer: Josefin Wangel

Content: The lecture will be an introduction to the concept of sustainability and sustainable development.

She sits in the steering group for the KTH Smart Sustainable Cities initiative. Josefin has a strong belief in issue-driven transdisciplinary research. Currently she is working in several research project, some of them being ICT for sustainable cities, Policy analysis of energy system transition, Certification systems for sustainable cities and Urban design for energy efficient everyday life.

Assignment: A brief and voluntary (but highly recommended) assignment before the lecture, scroll through the following sustainability models: http://computingforsustainability.com/2009/03/15/visualising-sustainability/ and choose a couple that you particularly like. Make sure to write down or memorise the number of the chosen models. During the lecture, we will use these as points of departure for discussing the concept of sustainable development.
