Arup on Cities: It’s time to double down on sustainable building design

Webinar agenda

Much of Europe is bracing for the incoming, energy-intensive winter season as the cost-of-living crisis bites. Inflation rate hikes fuelled by global uncertainty are forcing governments, consumers, and businesses to reprioritize their spending. Sustainability efforts are put on the back burner.   

Why does it have to be this way?!  

There are many sustainable actions that can be taken now to survive the current storm and thrive in the long term. What’s great for the planet and people can also be good for the profit margins. In the built environment, it’s about designing for resilience.  

Sean Lockie, Associate Director at Arup, supports the revered engineering firm’s Integrated City Planning team on all aspects involved in climate change innovation covering finance, business models, citizen activation, planning, policy and regulation and supply chain redesign.  

He joined us for a fabulous webinar session to bring forth great stories about sustainability and future-forward projects from the metropolis. There’s plenty to be optimistic about! He discussed the big trends affecting cities as they face an onslaught of challenges and explained why now’s the time to double down on sustainable building design.
