The urban population will continue to grow in the coming decades, with the global building stock - a measure of the number of buildings and their size - expected to double by 2060.

This equates to a monthly building addition on the order of New York City's building stock.

Particularly in view of the climate crisis, this development poses special challenges: The quantities of steel and cement required for the construction of the buildings mean - as things stand today - immense amounts of CO2 emissions.
