Bauhaus Earth and Pontifical Academy of Sciences conference, June
2022 The built environment is a critical factor in the climate
equation. Approximately 40 percent of global emissions derive from
the construction, operation, and demolition of human settlements.
The 21st century must be the century of re-entanglement, where
quintessential functions (housing, work, culture, recreation, etc.)
are reintegrated within urban spaces; where socioeconomic and
ecological systems form a mutually supportive network of networks;
and where past, present, and future are perceived as interwoven
waves in the river of time. Fortunately, opportunities exist to
transform the built environment from a carbon source to a carbon
sink through, e.g. timber construction high-rise buildings,
circular bioeconomy methods, AI-assisted design, smart recycling
technology, multifunctional land use, integrated regional resource
management, and community-based urban development, to name just a
few. This volume compiles the papers presented by world-renowned
scientists, architects, spatial planners, activists, and policy
makers at the Reconstructing the Future for People and Planet
conference, held at the Vatican in June 2022. First publication of
the Bauhaus Earth think tank Ideas to transform the anthropocene
Contributions by Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Ursula von der Leyen,
Edgar Pieterse, Francesca Bria, Xu Tiantian, Shigeru Ban, Sheela
Patel, Ana MarÃa Durán Calisto, and many others We look forward
to the re-entanglement of our cities with the ingenuity of
nature’s systems, and to forging closer alliances across Built by
Nature, Bauhaus Earth, and all our partners in this endeavor.
