WSP Hosted Three Thematic Seminars to Discuss on Latest Future Ready Insights
As part of WSP Hong Kong’s 45th anniversary celebration, WSP hosted a seminar series with three thematic seminars to dive into prominent trends from multidisciplinary perspectives that will define our future, including net zero, sustainability, ESG, smart infrastructure, and technologies, showcasing WSP’s Future Ready insights and commitment to the industry in innovating our future.
In the first seminar themed ‘What makes a place decarbonised – our approach to net zero’, industry practitioners and experts explored the ways to decarbonise our built environment and shared their insights on the decarbonisation journey with profound knowledge and remarkable success cases. The seminar probed into the government’s effort in developing smart buildings, transport and infrastructure, as well as net-zero challenges and trends around the world such as in the UK and the US, illustrating impressive projects that demonstrated WSP’s unconventional and practical solutions.
Various experts also discussed the importance of ESG and sustainability on the resilience journey, and emphasised on adopting innovative technologies, effective engineering methods, and collaborative building operation to conduce more desired net zero outcomes, achieving build less, build clean and build for the future.
