As part of 28 Days of Sustainability, join Engineers Without Borders UCL for an exciting event dedicated to transforming the London Underground (TFL) into a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation system! Interested in policy making, reducing carbon emissions or changing the world? This is the perfect event for you!
Dive into the heart of sustainability as we focus on two critical issues: the surge in carbon emissions in train waiting areas and the escalating heat and energy waste in lower station levels.
Main Concepts:
Carbon Emissions Challenge: Develop solutions to address the rising carbon emissions within train waiting areas, paving the way for a cleaner and greener underground experience.
Energy Efficiency in Lower Levels: Tackle the issue of increased heat and energy waste in the lower sections of stations
Let's come together to explore, learn, and inspire change for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly London Underground! Be part of the movement to make our city's transportation system a model for green urban living. Save the date, and let's "Tube Tune-Up" London!
As we develop solutions during the Hackathon, envision your ideas not just as concepts but they will be catalysts for change within TFL. Your proposals will be presented to TFL decision-makers, shaping the policies that will define the future of London's transportation system.
