The Future of Real Estate: Driving An Industry Transition
The Future of Real Estate – Pathways for Industry Recovery and Transition.
Buildings and cities are vital to societies and economies. They are the vehicles through which people live their lives: they bring people together, provide respite, shelter and inclusion, drive businesses, support or damage health, and nurture creativity. The past two years have brought the convergence of multiple crises – public health, social, economic and planetary – to a crescendo and, with it, a reckoning for the real estate community to evolve to serve people and planet.
Objectives:
- Convene visible and transformative leadership that can shift the industry consensus, increase the understanding of what is possible and advance public-private collaboration to develop and implement effective policy
- Distribute A Framework for the Future of Real Estate to spur the delivery of liveable, affordable, resilient and sustainable buildings and cities
- Advance high-impact workstreams to address key areas such as decarbonization and technology
