Our mission
|
According to the European Commission, the construction sector is central to the overall economy of the EU, accounting for more than 10% of GDP, employing more than 16 million people in large, medium and small enterprises, providing accommodation and infrastructure, and playing a prominent role in the global marketplace. Continued research and development is vital to address the global problems of climate change and population growth.
Advancing science, technology, and processes for planning and building sustainable urban constructions and territories in the present challenging context of climate change, fast urbanization, and natural or human-made hazards, City Faber Lab is helping to ensure a viable future and is contributing to the well-being of every citizen.
