Earlier this year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the P.R. China (MOHURD) launched its new ‘good house’ 好房子 initiative, which aims to tackle China’s residential housing problem by raising the quality of China’s residential buildings through a focus on sustainability. This initiative is very important for MOHURD and provides an excellent opportunity for foreign companies to shape the conversation on sustainable building solutions in China.
This meeting will be the first of a series of workshops and exchanges with MOHURD on the importance of European solutions in solving the housing quality problem.
At this meeting, Dr Liang Hao, Division Chief of the Division of Green Building Development at MOHURD will give an introduction into the ‘good house’ initiative, and the role that European companies can play. Speakers from our member companies will discuss their insights and expertise in three core areas – development, property management, and AI technologies in green buildings.
If you would like to attend this meeting, please feel free to register using our website or contact Ms. Kalina Pateva at kpateva@europeanchamber.com.cn indicating your attendance in Beijing or online.
