00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:11.720 align:middle line:10%
As we know, cities
around the world

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.640 align:middle line:10%
are facing
unprecedented challenges

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.250 align:middle line:10%
relating to inequality
and climate change.

00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:17.540 align:middle line:90%
One thing is clear--

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.550 align:middle line:84%
we need to challenge
ourselves and how

00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:21.740 align:middle line:84%
our cities operate if
we're to find solutions

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:23.000 align:middle line:90%
to the urban crisis.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.060 align:middle line:84%
So the aim of this course is
to address that core question--

00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:28.040 align:middle line:84%
how can we make our
cities fairer, more

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:30.440 align:middle line:90%
sustainable, and inclusive?

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.440 align:middle line:84%
Each initiative must be
scrutinised and tested

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:35.880 align:middle line:90%
for fairness and accountability.

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.880 align:middle line:84%
So in this course, you
have a unique opportunity

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.040 align:middle line:84%
to learn how to
develop such solutions,

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.110 align:middle line:84%
joining with people
from other cities,

00:00:42.110 --> 00:00:43.820 align:middle line:84%
learning together
by understanding

00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:45.840 align:middle line:90%
each other's perspectives.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.080 align:middle line:10%
So with ideas drawn from
our book on ethical cities,

00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:50.030 align:middle line:10%
we'll ensure the
course is grounded

00:00:50.030 --> 00:00:51.980 align:middle line:10%
in independent research
and connections

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:55.230 align:middle line:10%
with industry, government,
and community groups.

00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:56.900 align:middle line:84%
However, at the end
of the day, it's

00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.060 align:middle line:84%
you that will make
this course come alive.

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:01.880 align:middle line:84%
So be ready to reflect
on your own life work

00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.000 align:middle line:84%
and study experiments while our
educators bring their research

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.100 align:middle line:84%
and expertise to the
topic of ethical cities

00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.400 align:middle line:90%
and sustainability.

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:15.000 align:middle line:90%
