About this event
The sustainable actions we need to take to build a better world
Futurebuild 2022 was the place to be to hear about how the construction industry is committed to real change, a change that will allow us to live cleaner, greener and healthier.
One of the ways the industry is doing this is through the adoption of digital construction methods, where we use technology to help us design collaboratively and significantly reduce cost and waste, at both design and construction stages.
We have asked some of our outstanding speakers from the live show to join us again for a virtual discussion on some of the highlights from the show and what is driving healthy buildings and healthy environments. We will look at just what is sustainable architecture and what we mean by making our cities smart!
In this panel debate, hear from construction and infrastructure experts, passionate about delivering a sustainable built environment through the way we design and build. You will hear about the modern methods of construction they have adopted and are using right now, combined with smart city technology and how this is creating the healthier environment we need.
If you missed Futurebuild 2022, you won’t want to miss this – everything you need to know in just 45 minutes on sustainability for construction.
