The Economics of Urban Ecological Transition Chair (Real Estate, Housing, Architecture, Development) of the Institut Louis Bachelier launches its first conference « Reinvesting in Resilient Real Estate » on Wednesday 6 March 2024, from 4.30 pm to 7.30 pm at the Collège de France.

This event is part of the pre-forum of the Buildings and Climate Global Forum, co-organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the French Government with the support of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), which will bring together for the first time ministers in charge of construction and high-level representatives of key organisations in the building sector, to launch a new momentum in international collaboration for the decarbonisation and resilience of buildings.

 

▶️  Objective of the conference 

Structured around four round tables, the conference will provide an opportunity to compare the views of several academic disciplines (economics, architecture, engineering) with those of public decision-makers and economic players on the challenges of resilience in the property sector.

The resilient economy will be a thread running through the conference, showing how resilient buildings offer long-term economic and financial benefits. The conference will highlight the crucial importance of designing structures that can withstand and adapt to environmental, technological, social and economic challenges. It will show how resilient buildings are at the heart of the response to contemporary challenges, creating a more sustainable and adaptive future for generations to come.
