Quartier Heidestraße
In all stages of its life, real estate consumes materials: during design, during construction, during operation. Bricks are forged from clay, and electricity runs along copper wires, taking raw materials from the Earth. But instead of being a burden on the planet, using up finite resources, what if a building could be part of a solution?
This enormous question is the subject of an initiative established by Drees & Sommer, British Embassy Berlin and Imperial College London. Following its first event held last November, the group’s second digital event, German-British Embassy Talks 2.0 on Smart and Sustainable Cities, will provide industry leaders with collaborative and tangible opportunities to support the UK and Germany in achieving their zero-emission goals.
