Over 2 half days, participants will build a picture of the effective decarbonisation of the European built environment and sustainable investment practices amidst a global economic downturn that is impacting industry practice and notions of business-as-usual. At the heart of it, the ESG agenda will be a constant feature throughout the event.
World Built Environment Forum Europe event is held in collaboration with Generali Real Estate and is hosted at the the Procuratie Vecchie which is an example of optimal renovation of heritage-built environment to enhance sustainability. The restoration of the Procuratie Vecchie was managed by Generali Real Estate on the basis of a project commissioned to David Chipperfield Architects Milan, selected following an international competition to renovate and enhance the prestigious building while respecting its unique historical and cultural heritage. Today, the Procuratie Vecchie is the new home of The Human Safety Net.
World Built Environment Forum Europe is also a proud to one of the official side event of the Biennale della Sostenibilità, which is promoted and organized by Venice Sustainability Foundation. The Foundation was born from the belief that Venice history of resilience can inspire the realization of a sustainable future, capable of overcoming the complex challenges that threaten its very survival.
The first edition of the Biennale della Sostenibilità, scheduled in Venice from June 1 to November 25- 2023, places at the center of the debate the technological and environmental success of the MOSE system, demonstrating since 2020 how it can effectively protect the city and its surroundings from extreme tidal events while maintaining a balance with the delicate environmental system of the lagoon.
"This event, held by RICS, is a great opportunity to debate about the impact that innovative infrastructures have on our territory. Thanks to Mose, that preserves the Lagoon from the effects of high tides, Venice can now more thoroughly plan the socio-economic development of its whereabouts. To deepen this aspect, we have dedicated the first edition of the ‘Biennale della Sostenibilità’, on stage this very year, to showcase the Mose system and discuss about it with international practitioner and many other local and global stakeholders”, said Alessandro Costa, Director General of Venice Sustainability Foundation.
