As Asia's population develops and ages, a critical challenge emerges: how can we create a sustainable built environment that empowers our youth, young families, and senior citizens? In this session, we'll explore innovative retrofitting strategies for existing buildings in developed nations as well as delve into preparing fast-growing economies for societies as they mature, examining how to construct new buildings. We'll discuss design, green building practices, and policy changes to achieve a thriving and sustainable Asia for all generations.
