Olly’s talk, titled “Sustainable Mixed-Use Community Building”, will explore the role of sustainable masterplanning in shaping future-ready communities across the GCC region. His keynote will highlight:

  • Sustainable development: Urban design strategies that reduce carbon footprints, promote walkability, and build long-term environmental resilience.
