The green gauge

The UN suggests around 60% of the global population will live in metropolitan areas by 2030. This rapid urbanisation has led to a disproportionate number of people relying on poor, unplanned infrastructure, creating an urgent need for adequate housing. 

With global resources already under extreme strain, is it possible to raise living standards equitably without increasing the burden on the planet?

Maria Matamoros, Director of Ambito Arquitectura y Sostenibilidad, weighs up this trade-off by providing insight into sustainable solutions for housing demand.

The technology sector is under increasing pressure to reduce its contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. And as big tech companies race to be the first to net zero, the solutions they are finding aren't always the most obvious for tech giants.
Meta, while looking at how they power and run their data centres, is also focusing on how they build them. Research scientists Amruta Sudhalkar, and Julius Kusuma are using AI to help them find concrete mixes which are strong enough for the job but offer a vastly reduced carbon footprint. And what they have found might have much wider implications for construction everywhere.
