The role of citiesCities play an integral role in the global economy and drive global economic growth. Despite the critical role of cities, they face challenges ahead. City leaders are increasingly required to react to issues such as climate change, underfunded infra-structure projects and technology dis ruption among many others.
EthicsEthics continue to be an important focus in the built environment. Maintaining and repairing common challenges include unethical procurement procedures, money laundering, risks to worker and occupant health and safety, and the use of bribery and kickbacks. The importance of ethics is only magnified by the increasing amount of public and private pension funds invested in real estate and infrastructure.
Resilience and sustainability in the built environmentCities face a number of environmental challenges such as water scarcity, energy, pollution and climate change. The built environment represents a major social invest-ment, and it can play a leading role in ensuring that cities become resilient and promote sustainability.
Financial impact of the built environmentCities drive the economy and growth in a number of ways. Buildings themselves are not just productive but also stores of value. Investment in real estate and infrastructure is an important part of pension fund portfolios, with an increased predicted real estate allocation from 9% in 2016 to 10% in 2017. A total of $435 billion in debt and equity was invested globally in real estate in 2017.
The role of technologyTechnology is influencing the built environment – how structures are built and valued, how facilities are maintained and managed and even how businesses are valued. With new technical innovations within the real estate and construction eco system, the profession and industry need to track, embrace and evolve with the digital disruptions.
InfrastructureNew infrastructure development and existing infrastructure is a common theme across all cities. Some experts believe the funding shortfall in the US alone will approach $3 trillion in the coming years. Funding these much-neededprojectsis a critical issue facing our entire profession.
The RICS Summit Series Americas 2018 presents best practices from across the full range of prop-erty and construction professions: capital markets, tax assessment, quantity surveying, facilities management, institutional investment, real estate development, and business and personal property valuation. Here are some key topics that will influence the Summit Series program:
