Sustainable Construction and Development
Construction Conference 2022 – a Look at the Future of Construction
The construction and real estate sector has a major social responsibility when it comes to climate protection targets. Vonovia intends to live up to its responsibility. On March 23, 2022, we organized a conference in partnership with the Fraunhofer Alliance on “A look at the future of construction” at the Berlin Design Offices. This event gave us the opportunity to discuss the topics of environmentally friendly and resource-conserving construction with various stakeholders.
The workshops provided a forum for intensive discussion and collaboration in small groups.
The conference laid the foundations for discourse surrounding sustainable construction. In four workshops, players from the worlds of business, science and politics tackled the topics of production of building materials, renewable resources, recycling, and supply chains and logistics. Particular attention was paid to the question of pricing policy, the availability of raw materials, and the conflict between sustainability and economic efficiency. After all, the future of construction ultimately needs to be both sustainable and affordable for buyers and tenants.
In the coming months, the working groups will begin to develop detailed proposals and approaches for the climate-friendly future of construction, which will be presented at the final event on November 23, 2022, at Futurium Berlin.
