Interview of Prof. Ruggiero

As cities around the world continue to expand and populations grow at an unprecedented rate, we are faced with the challenge of creating livable, sustainable, and inclusive spaces within the confines of high-density urban environments.

High-density living has become a reality for millions, and it offers tremendous opportunities for economic growth, cultural exchange, and innovation. However, it also presents unique challenges, such as the strain on infrastructure, limited resources, social isolation, and decreased quality of life. In the pursuit of progress, we must prioritize the well-being and happiness of individuals residing in these dense urban centers.

Watch CTBUH board member Jonas Høg from Peikko Group Corporation interview Ph.D David Ruggiero from Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne about obstacles and opportunities in connection with the construction of high-rise buildings in a more sustainable and circular way.
