Sustainable placemaking in a resilient, net zero world
Over the next 30 years, urban and rural green spaces will come under increasing pressure, as the world’s urban population grows to more than six and a half billion. Striking the balance between dense, low-impact urban development and liveable, green, and human-friendly city environments has never been more pressing.
With record-breaking temperatures and rainfall across the planet, sustainability and climate resilience have never been more prominent in the minds of businesses, policymakers, and society.
World Built Environment Forum (WBEF) Week 2023 celebrated the latest and best thinking from across the built and natural environment. The weeklong schedule showcased the latest innovations, practices, and case studies for delivering sustainable and equitable places and spaces.
It brought together a global network of senior professionals, industry thought leaders and policy makers.
During WBEF Week 2023 there was a combination of live and interactive sessions, panels, meetings and forums.
