Stronger Together: Sustainable Networks

This is Shaping Sustainable Places, a new Skanska podcast. We’re here to recognize, encourage and inspire stakeholders in the industry and beyond to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, resilient, zero-carbon built environment. In each episode, we’ll be speaking with industry and civic leaders, policymakers and other champions of change to explore innovative solutions to real challenges.

 

Sustainability is a team effort. No organization can achieve carbon neutrality on its own but, by working together, we can enact a holistic plan of sustainability that creates a cleaner, safer and healthier built environment.

 

This episode features Clare de Briere, EVP and Regional Manager at Skanska USA Commercial Development, and Executive Committee Chair at Urban Land Institute Americas; Cristina Gamboa, CEO at the World Green Building Council; and Sylvester Turner, Mayor of Houston. 

 

Together, these three leaders describe ways that industry and civic collaboration creates successful sustainability initiatives:

 

  • Clare describes the ULI’s Greenprint network and how it promotes partnerships across public municipalities and private organizations.
  • Cristina outlines a holistic model of sustainability and how the sharing of that model provides a blueprint that guides net-zero development around the world.
  • Sylvester explains how he and his fellow city leaders openly learn from each other’s projects to find new ways to implement local sustainability initiatives.
