Future Flux starts on Monday 5 July at the IABR.

Led by Léon Kranenburg they will discuss, among themselves and with the audience, the impact of climate issues on the development of the city as well as ways to use the climate challenge as leverage to create well-designed, socially inclusive and resilient cities – in the Merwe-Vierhavens District and elsewhere.
