Listen in to this second deep-dive TTPod Episode and hear from five of South Africa’ leading authorities on SA’s transition to energy efficient cities and decide for yourself:

• Are Cities ready to implement NZC-Buildings and the C40 South African New Buildings Programme? 
• Do cities have the mandate (powers and function) to drive such an ambitious programme? 
• How are the plans and regulations aligning – between corporate and environmental planning and between the spheres of government? 
• Who is responsible for what – Constitution vs By-laws v National Building Regulations (NBR) Who leads and who follows? 
• What adaption is needed for building officials’ skills and competencies to support and facilitate the private sector and to drive professional adaption in the built environment?
• Why is it important that cities adapt and take the lead? How do we shift from strategy to action and implementation? Who else needs to make that shift? 
• How can we build in speed and efficiency in the administration to incentivise the shifts?
