Next week will see Leeds fill with businesses and professionals from across the property andinfrastructure sectors at UKREiiF
The other priority at UKREiiF is to show that Yorkshire is in a place to support the UK’s net zero and sustainability ambitions. The way that we build and maintain homes, offices, towns and city centres are central to decarbonising our economy. So too is how we travel between these places.
We are already seeing promising commitments and investment from local authorities across the country to retrofit existing buildings with low carbon energy systems and improve insulation and ventilation. In the North East, we’re working with the Tees Valley Combined authority to support local councils establishing heat decarbonisation plans for their residential and public buildings. We need that trend to continue and for more authorities to come to the table.
Getting to grips with how people use existing buildings will be absolutely critical to making the right investment decisions – particularly in the context of changing behaviours post Covid including the growth of hybrid working. When it comes to infrastructure, anyone with experience of living and working in our region will know how difficult it is to commit to commuting by public transport, with services often too inconsistent to allow people to make more sustainable travel decisions.
