Buildings and urban areas

The world is changing at an accelerating pace. Urbanisation, climate change, digitalisation and increasingly stringent requirements for housing are challenging the built environment. Sustainable cities require healthy, functional and attractive buildings and living environments that support everyday life while enabling the long-term development of cities.
