"How does the construction sector shape the future of cities? What challenges does it face? At the crossroads of demographic, social, energy, and climate pressures, the construction sector is changing fast. Professionals, institutions, and citizens are working together to build environments that improve health and well-being, encourages durable and place-responsive solutions, cut carbon emissions, withstand climate risks, and provide affordable, high-quality housing."
"Addressing these complex challenges requires not only innovation in materials, technologies, and construction methods, but also sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices. This is where Constructing a Sustainable Future (CSF), launched by the Saint-Gobain Group in 2023, comes in. CSF is an international media platform dedicated to advancing sustainable construction, connecting stakeholders across the industry, and highlighting key achievements, innovations, and strategies that accelerate decarbonization while supporting the sector's transition."
"Since its inception, CSF has attracted nearly 6 million visits and boasts 30,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter, engaging a global community of architects, urban planners, developers, manufacturers, policymakers, students, and institutions. By fostering collaboration and amplifying effective solutions, CSF serves as a dynamic hub for exploring sustainability in all its dimensions-decarbonization, the circular economy, renovation, quality of life, policy and economics, resilience, and social inclusion."
