CEE & Austria Session - Vienna

Based on current trajectories, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (PACC), the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (ABT) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG) will not be achieved. Looking at the impact on the built environment, mainstream construction practices are not sustainable enough, not only environmentally but also economically.

The development of shared living solutions in university-cities represents a significant opportunity for innovation in sustainable construction. The new generations are increasingly aware of the impacts of their own lifestyle choices on the environment. Particularly well-suited to both modularity and retrofitting, student housing and coliving cease the opportunity to reduce waste to landfill and innovate in efficient construction methods. In the rapidly growing markets such as Austria and CEE, potential for sustainable development is immense. The regions players will have much to learn from Vienna, where exemplar passivhaus and circular development have achieved success.
