It’s way more than just buildings …#Urbanization : how do we create livable, #sustainable communities and city centers? #Energy affects sustainable living tremendously as do jobs and #housing affordability. With remote work for example, do people still prefer living in urban areas?There are many factors that influence real estate going forward such as green lending programs, impact investing, equity in communities and building in a way that makes sense 50 and 100 years from now. There are questions of land use, zoning, building materials, governance, money and access to water and food. The real estate industry in the US was USD 3.69 trillion in 2021.
