Women in Property Wales’ Post

This MREJ Summit focuses on the present challenges and OPPORTUNITIES we face in transforming our downtowns into neighborhoods where live, work, play and stay all collide in a way that drives better outcomes for all stakeholders. It is happening today despite challenging economic conditions in real estate, but can be accelerated through leverage and partnership. Private, federal, state and local resources are all more closely aligning in this post pandemic effort and through partnerships and enhanced financing solutions we can bring our downtowns forward to better serve people today and our next generation. With new housing production slowing significantly the last 24 months and the way we use existing buildings often shifting significantly the time is NOW for this sustainable focused, tax base stabilizing/generating, job driving, and adaptive reuse(housing focused) effort. Hope to see you next week.

It's less than two weeks until we unveil our latest exhibition, New Homes in New Ways: Collaboration and Innovation through Modern Methods of Construction. In the coming weeks, we will launch our exciting calendar of weekly webinars with industry professionals. The exhibition takes inspiration from the recently released playbook by our event co-curators, Housing Festival , Social Rent Housing at Pace Playbook. The playbook demonstrates the opportunity for the public sector to incubate a new supply chain of factory-manufactured housing, while unlocking ‘unlikely’ land and rethinking the economics. It is a response to our broken housing system and severe shortfall of safe and secure social rent homes. The exhibition will include case studies and a showcase of the latest in new housing technology and discuss the environmental, social and financial benefits of providing homes built through MMC. Amidst calls for, and promises of, genuinely affordable new homes - this exhibition will shine a light on our growing Temporary Accommodation crisis and demonstrate how new high-quality, low-carbon homes can be delivered at scale and pace.

Equitable access to green spaces is pivotal.

Is eradicating modern slavery from the materials supply chain really part of the sustainability movement? I'm not sure, but it is an important issue for anyone involved in planning, designing, and constructing buildings to be aware of. Glad to see it on the U.S. government's radar! #socialjustice #equityindesign #buildingmaterials #sustainabledesign
