Lecture description
Keynote Presentation: New build is expensive, land is scarce and the carbon footprint is poor, yet greenfield sites are still the first place people look. 15 minutes, one thesis: the biggest reserve for housing and climate action lies in existing buildings. A talk on how conversions, rooftop extensions and changes of use can become the norm, and what the construction and property industries need to do differently.
