This webinar addresses the importance of sustainable construction in reducing environmental impact (and climate impact), considering that the construction sector is among the world’s largest polluters. When discussing smart cities, it becomes essential to design, develop, and maintain solutions grounded in sustainability. The session aims to foster discussion on sustainable building practices, their long-term maintenance, and the most widely used certification standard in the field — LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) — as well as the impact of these practices on developing more resilient, efficient, and environmentally responsible cities. The session will address the economic, social, and environmental benefits of sustainable construction, along with the challenges of large-scale implementation, highlighting how these practices contribute to a more balanced and sustainable urban future.
