Working in partnership with the London School of Economics, the report looks at a city in 2050 that has been built by a society that has relied on local services and efficient resources to maintain low levels of energy usage.
In this more environmentally-friendly city the level of emissions have been reduced by 80% since 1990 compared to 40% in our current built-up areas.
Water usage will be lowered by almost a third with the city using 100 litres per person per day on average compared to 130 litres at present.
The report shows the importance of a city that runs with low energy consumptions compared to one that is quickly starving the world of raw materials.
