It is often said that the most sustainable building is the one already standing. Yet, there is a growing demand for more square meters – especially in major cities. A key question, therefore, is: How can we make better use of the buildings we already have?
At the session, the EU Commission together with the Nordic countries shared insights into current initiatives in this field. Participants had the chance to ask questions and exchange knowledge, including tools and inspiring examples of renovation and transformation. The discussions highlighted both how to extend the lifespan of existing building and how to adapt spaces for new uses.
