Events: The metaverse, gaming and the metabolism of cities
University of Cape Town Madiba Circle, Upper Campus, Rondebosch, Cape TownThe recent drought in Cape Town taught me that as experts, we are terrible at making complex things understandable to the public. We are terrible at giving good advice; simple, quick actions to take in a crisis, that we feel also helps with the big picture.
Worst of all we don't contribute to the conversation that builds the trust that we need to draw from in times of crisis.
In an effort to find a way to do exactly that, I am trying to combine the joy of gaming, the beauty of information visualisation and the rigour of urban metabolism studies.
Workshop: Distributed business models for the bioeconomy
GreenCape 18 Roeland Street, Cape TownTo the best of our knowledge, the intricacies of getting biomass to value is poorly developed. The aim of this workshop is to share and learn from other industries and specialist fields like logistics and distribution companies to provide the support that can really activate the bioeconomy, and deliver better, more equitable and more sustainable services as a result.
