Content Description
Why GBS?
The future growth of cities and increase in population pose several challenges to municipalities, city planners and architects. To create ecological and sustainable solutions for urban development and the building sector, education, knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration are crucial.
Build better!

This is demonstrated by pioneering architects, planners and engineers sharing their personal experiences and best practice.
Think globally - Act locally
