Fifth Urban Research Symposium

"Cities and Climate Change: Responding to an Urgent Agenda"

THE SURVEY

• An online survey was launched between May 7th, 2009 and June 7th, 2009, on anyone doing scientific research on CCC. More than 300

ll t danswers were collected.

• One question was:

If you think of the city that you know the best, what should be the top 3 priorities for the Mayor's strategy

Cli Ch ?on Climate Change ?
