Session

The built environment has faced incredible change.

Fifty years ago, 60 percent of new single-family homes were one story. High-rise residential structures were completed in an average of 15 months. Our buildings have become increasingly sophisticated, sustainable, and resilient – dictated by climate forces, the evolving wants and needs of building occupants, and changes in technology, materials, and construction techniques.

Where will the next 50 years take us?

This panel discussion will break down what’s in our future, covering climate adaptation and mitigation, transformational technologies, and industry workforce diversification and social equity.

We all have our opinions about where this will go. Let’s have the discussion.
