Green Agenda for Real Estate Industry

 

 

(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC)

 

With rapid economic growth, real estate is also catching up quickly in Asia. However, the high-waste, high-energy-consumption and high-pollution approach to real estate development has brought about enormous pressures on environment and energy and run counter to the strategy of sustainable development and social harmony. The government encourages and the public aspires for the Green Real Estate featuring renewable energy, energy-saving, water-saving, raw-material-saving and environment-friendliness. Nonetheless, real estate developers, for their part, care more about the commercial viability and technology-readiness of the Green Real Estate while taking on corporate social responsibilities. Commercially unviable Green Real Estate is not sustainable itself. Can Green Real Estate generate enough economic returns so as to satisfy all parties concerned: the government, the public and real estate developers? Are technologies ready? What policy incentives have or will the government put in place to encourage the Green Real Estate?

 

Renovation of old cities, construction of new cities and urbanization of rural areas undoubtedly contribute to the rapid growth of real estate. Massive tear-down of old buildings to give way to blocks after blocks of modern skyscrapers has been condemned. However, how to preserve historic buildings, achieve the harmony of old and new buildings and protect the unique cultural and historical identity of a city remains a major challenge to the real estate industry. Have Asian countries identified some successful models in this aspect? What experiences/lessons can they learn from advanced countries?
