Mar. 24, 11 a.m. ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Cities are often described as engines of opportunity, density, and connection – yet they are also where loneliness concentrates and becomes most visible. This session explores the paradox of proximity: how urban systems, planning logics, and everyday design decisions can unintentionally produce loneliness, while those very same systems hold the potential to prevent it. Drawing on the book The Paradox of Proximity – Preventing Urban Loneliness, the webinar reframes loneliness as a spatial and societal challenge rather than an individual failure. Through examples from Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the Nordics, the session shows how cities can move from being part of the problem to becoming part of the cure – by designing social infrastructure, everyday encounters, and environments that actively invite belonging.

The newly filed case tests how long-standing fiduciary standards apply in an era of increasing market exposure to climate risk. The lawsuit alleges that the employer violated its fiduciary responsibility under long-standing federal law by failing to prudently manage employees’ retirement savings. While the company has certainly acknowledged the growing physical and financial risks associated with climate change in its own operations and real estate portfolio, it failed to apply a comparable level of prudence in overseeing employees’ retirement savings. Join the briefing to find out what this means and why it matters.
