Sustainable Construction in Cities Turning the worlds building sector
Eleventh World Urban Forum – Transforming our Cities for a Better Urban Future
Join Reall at the BMZ Sustainable Construction session at the World Urban Forum in Katowice, Poland on Wednesday 29th June, to build a home for human potential that doesn’t cost the earth.
In the wake of rapid urbanisation, the global building stock is expected to double in the next 30 years. Thereby, the construction sector is one of the most resource intense and environmentally damaging industries in the world. At the same time, a backlog in the provision of decent housing for all is becoming more and more apparent. If conventional materials were to continue to be used, this would consume up to 80% of the CO2 emissions budget of the 1.5-degree target.
This event will display and discuss the relevance, challenges, and potentials of transforming the urban building and construction sector. The event seeks to underline the triad of sustainably transforming the global urban building and construction sector: environmentally, socially, and economically. Existing networks and cooperation shall be expanded, synergies for new collaborations among actors shall be identified, and a clear follow-up for enhanced action be determined.
