Enda interviewed for article on the concept of a sustainable 'Aerotropolis'

Enda was interviewed for an article in the South African urban design magazine, Urban Green File, on the concept of a sustainable aerotropolis (airport city). The article questions if an aerotropolis could be sustainable through efficient waste management? This follows on from a project last year, which Enda led, that delivered a Framework for Sustainability for the development of a Dube Aerotropolis in the vicinity of King Shaka International Airport, Durban.
