Offering a different angle, the Safer Futures stage will focus on building quality and safety, fire safety, tenant engagement, asset management, repairs and maintenance, and the Fitness for Human Habitation Act.
The Sustainable Futures stage will look at issues around climate change and reaching net zero, as well as healthy homes and places, post-Covid recovery and tenant support, efficiency and value for money, and ageing populations.
