    The built environment accounts for 30-40% of global CO2 emissions. The way we construct, finance, and manage the built environment will determine whether we meet our climate goals—or fall catastrophically short. Welcome to The Future We Build—a podcast for the people creating fundamental change in how we build, invest in, and inhabit our world. This isn't about incremental improvements or polished corporate messaging. These are the hallway conversations that happen after industry conferences end—candid insights from sustainability leaders, PropTech innovators, and real estate futurists who are fundamentally rethinking our approach to the built environment. Season 1 brings you inside conversations with: 🏢 Sustainability heads and former heads from major investment managers including Nuveen, CBRE IM, and Savills IM 🔄 Former sustainability executives now free to speak candidly about what's actually working—and what isn't 🏗️ Leaders pioneering new construction methods, materials, and procurement approaches 🤖 Visionaries exploring AI's role in transforming real estate 📊 Experts tackling the data challenges that underpin regulatory disclosure and capital allocation 🏗️ Industry bodies such as Better Buildings Partnership, UK Green Building Council and UK PropTech Association 🌱 Innovators, Venture Capitalists and emerging PropTech companies Hosted by Alex Edds a sustainability and innovation professional with 20 years across real estate investment management, consulting, corporate innovation, and PropTech.
