Futurebuild 2020:
Be the catalyst for change
Recent climate change demonstrations
and government declarations make one
thing clear, we need to come together to
take action against the climate change
challenges we are facing.
Against this backdrop, Futurebuild
2020, held from 03-05 March at
ExCeL London will inspire industry
professionals to come together, be
the catalyst for change that’s needed
and deliver a more sustainable built
environment.
Setting the agenda
The industry-leading conference
programme returns for 2020, with the
climate and ecological crisis leading
conversations.
Unmissable sessions in the Arena will
include ‘Professional Collaboration: Do
it together’ developed in partnership
with the Chartered Institute of
Architectural Technologists (CIAT).
This session on day three (05 March)
will bring the presidents of the institute
together to discuss how those working
22
in the built and natural environment
are currently responding to the climate
and ecological emergency, and ongoing
plans for the future.
Another key session is: ‘The future is
regenerative’ chaired by Peter Murray,
Chair of New London Architecture (03
March). It will explore how design and
construction needs a circular rethink.
On day two (04 March) London Mayoral
Candidate Rory Stewart will sit on a
panel looking at ‘Carbon neutral cities
of the future’ and examine the pathway
to healthier, more resilient cities.
