Chair of the Center for Sustainable Cities | Spain

Manuel Perez Romero is most passionate about sustainability and education in cities, and as Chair of the Center for Sustainable Cities in Madrid, he knows what it takes to design a truly sustainable city. Due to his interdisciplinary background as architect, urban designer, lecturer, and inventor, it is of great importance to Manuel to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue with different stakeholders. Manuel believes that cities can only manage to be sustainable if the people working for it fully understand the complexity of the urban phenomenon and vision the city as an ecosystem in permanent evolution and transformation.
