Panel discussion: Urban Density & The Vertical City - New vs. Existing Building

What will the future of urban living spaces look like with increasing urban density and building heights? Against this background, the panel discussion “URBAN DENSITY & THE VERTICAL CITY – NEW VS. OLD” will consider fire protection as a key factor in the design of sustainable and safe (vertical) cities. The agility of building regulations and standards, national and international perspectives on fire safety, and the use of wood versus other building materials will be discussed. Successful best practices will provide valuable insights into solutions to maximise safety and sustainability in urban design. From investment to architecture, from retrofitting existing buildings to planning new projects, all aspects will be explored to enable a comprehensive discussion on the future of our urban living spaces.
