8:01Now PlayingWith increasing population growth and rapid unplanned urbanisation, there is mounting demand for buildings. Without immediate action, construction of urban housing and its associated infrastructure will significantly deplete global resources.
Subsequently, given that construction and the use of construction materials are huge contributors to global emissions, the pace and scale of this required housing construction has the potential to significantly exacerbate carbon emissions. The impact of this would disproportionately affect regions like MENA, where climate change is already causing extreme heat surges along with widespread drought stresses. Our buildings are already coming under increasing pressure with a changing climate, jeopardising their very essence of providing housing and shelter.
This event will seek to establish how buildings must avoid ‘locking’ emissions in inefficient and unsafe new residential construction in MENA, whilst simultaneously addressing the huge need for rapid delivery of climate-resilient housing. The lag between design and construction means that such housing needs to be developed now.
