RIBA East: What does the future hold for sustainable housing?

Join RIBA East for this panel event exploring sustainable housing and what we can expect from houses in the future.

What does the future hold for sustainable housing? Three years on from the government-funded Homes of 2030 Competition, led by Homes England and hosted by RIBA, we will look at where we are now against those key areas of Inclusive Living, Healthy Living, Environmental Impact, and Deliverability.

As part of this event, the panel will also look at what we have learned from existing projects, what barriers remain, and what solutions lay ahead to deliver better homes for the future.

We have brought together a wide-ranging panel from the built environment including Emma Fletcher from Octopus Energy, Keith Bradley from Feilden Clegg Bradley Studio and Patrick Usborne, Chair of the Cambridge Association of Architects and a canopy member at Entopia, who will explore where sustainable housing is in the current market and what we should be expecting from our houses in the future.

RIBA invites you to take part in this panel discussion at the Entopia Building, CISL's ultra-sustainable home in the heart of Cambridge. Then onto The Castle Bar to continue the discussion along with drinks which has kindly been sponsored by Altro.
