Net Zero Carbon Cities: Dream or Reality - A RICS & REDAS SEA Conference

Overview

In the dynamic urban landscape of Southeast Asia, Singapore stands at the forefront of pioneering sustainable urban development. This year, we’re transforming the Smart Buildings Conference into the "Net Zero Carbon Cities: Dream or Reality" conference, a pivotal event addressing the rapid evolution and urgent demands of sustainable urban environments in Southeast Asia. As cities globally tackle urbanization and climate change, Singapore's commitment to the Green Plan 2030 serves as a beacon for innovation in resilient infrastructure, green buildings, and sustainable transport systems. The conference highlights the growing recognition of achieving net zero targets as feasible goals that drive both economic and environmental benefits.

Amidst rapid technological advancements and stringent regulatory landscapes, industry leaders, policymakers, and practitioners will explore opportunities and challenges posed by initiatives like the Carbon Building Framework and ESG compliance. Discussions will spotlight Singapore’s pioneering projects and policies, offering a comprehensive view of the technological, economic, and social shifts shaping the future of net zero cities. Panels will delve into transformations in electric and autonomous vehicles, AI's role in urban management, and innovative strategies in workforce development and leasing to meet sustainability goals.

By attending, participants will gain insights into cutting-edge strategies, align with regulatory requirements, and engage with urban sustainability experts. The conference promises a blend of keynote addresses, interactive panels, and networking opportunities, empowering attendees to drive their organizations and communities toward a net zero future. Whether you are a city planner, business leader, investor, or policymaker, this conference equips you with actionable strategies and deep insights into sustainable urban development's dynamic landscape.
