FUTURECITIES:?
领英推荐
Sweden has long been a pioneer in sustainable woods, prefab housing and coming up with unique solutions for a greener future. Appears the rest of the world is starting to understand the power of timber in housing our future.
?
FUTURECITIES:?
Buildings account for more than 60% of carbon emissions in cities.
Amid growing pressure from shareholders, employees and wider society, companies increasingly want to occupy buildings that reflect their sustainability goals.
Cutting energy use must be a priority from both a sustainability and a cost viewpoint.
For building owners, the stakes are getting higher for assets that fall behind the sustainability curve.
?
AFFORDABLE HOUSING:?
Having a look at affordable housing and sustainable housing in a growth emerging market – Vietnam
The lending and disbursement must be made faster, with the right focus, for the right businesses, and for eligible real estate projects in accordance with the provisions of the law. Priority must be given to loans at suitable rates for social housing projects, workers' houses, and commercial housing.
?
FUTURECITIES:?
The concept of sustainability has been around for decades, but the buzzword’s increasing ubiquity begs a question: Does anybody actually know what “sustainability” means? And what about any costs sustainability adds — or doesn’t — to a given product’s price tag?
?
MANAGEMENT:?
Top CEOS from real estate and other industries pledge to reduce buildings-related emissions by at least 50% by 2030 and be fully net-zero carbon no later than 2050. CEOs will also implement the World Economic Forum’s Green Building Principles and Action Plan to make progress on their emissions targets.
?
RAWMATERIALS:?
Good news for renewables as Sweden finds the largest rare earth mineral deposits in Europe.
?
AFFORDABLE HOUSING:?
Australia could lose thousands of affordable homes this year, plunging more renters into housing stress when properties are wiped from a federal scheme.
