The real estate sector is facing major challenges in the areas of climate adaptation, biodiversity and sustainability. At the same time, the demand is increasing for buildings and areas that are future-proof and remain attractive to users and real estate investors. In this podcast, Mobilane and The Greenlabel Institute discuss the economic and societal value of greening. From green façades and roofs to ready-to-use hedges: which measures actually deliver returns and how do they contribute to higher real estate quality?
