Impact of Construction on Society in Emerging Economies

Summary

Emerging economies face a set of distinctive challenges that differ significantly from those in developed countries. Issues such as carbon-intensive, unhealthy, and unsafe buildings are prevalent, alongside varying perceptions of safety and widespread urban poverty. Additionally, barriers for individuals with disabilities further complicate the landscape. Despite these obstacles, these environments often foster pragmatism and ingenuity in addressing their needs.

This informative webinar will delve into the multifaceted challenges that emerging economies encounter, highlighting the critical role of the construction industry and professional bodies. Participants will gain insights into how these sectors can contribute to:

• Improving Building Standards: Exploring sustainable practices that enhance safety and health in construction.
• Access to Services and Education: Discussing initiatives that increase educational opportunities and resources for marginalized communities.
• Alleviating Poverty and Inequality: Understanding strategies to empower individuals and support economic development.

Join us for an engaging discussion on how we can work together to overcome these challenges, leveraging innovative solutions to create a more equitable future. Whether you're a professional in the construction industry, an advocate for social justice, or simply interested in the dynamics of emerging economies, this webinar is for you.
