As part of IHRB's Building for Today and the Future project to advance a just transition in the built environment, we commissioned local artists in Lagos, Lisbon, Jakarta, Prague, Copenhagen and Melbourne to bring to life the visioning workshop findings for each city.
Each visual art piece imagines a fairer, greener future for our cities.
The works below were showcased at COP28 and will continue to be exhibited at future global events.
