In the context of investing in the built environment, the 2019 Summit will specifically explore key themes such as:
- The changing nature of work and workplace
- The impact of algorithms and tokenization
- The real-world outcomes for cities and citizens
- New finance models for energy and transport
- Investment risk allocation
