Part 1 - News

With climate change of increasing concern, we look at two recent stories about the impact of the changing environment on cities both modern and ancient. Firstly, a study from Dr Dorian Fuller (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê institute of Archaeology) has shown that Climate change led to the collapse of the ancient Indus civilization more than 4,000 years ago. Keeping with the climate change connection, we also talk about a new Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê/Lancet Healthy Cities report that looks at how we can change modern cities around the world to improve our health.
