Reconstructing the Future

The built environment is a critical factor in the climate equation since buildings and physical infrastructure are directly responsible for about 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, there are many new ways to build better. This volume compiles the papers presented by world-renowned academics, architects, spatial planners and policy makers at the Reconstructing the Future for People and Planet conference.Methods for building better include timber high-rise buildings, circular bio-economy methods, AI-assisted design, serial prefabrication of building components, smart recycling technology, multifunctional land use, integrated regional resource management and community-based urban development.
