BE Sustainable Episode 5: To Innovate or Not to Innovate - with Dr Graeme Larsen

University of the Built Environment

The built environment isn’t a sector typically associated with innovation, but as the pressure to address our role in the climate crisis grows, does this need to change?

In the latest episode of BE Sustainable, Professor Graeme Larsen returns to explore the challenge of bringing new innovations into the mainstream in our sector. From restriction and regulatory uncertainty to skills shortages and perceived risks, Graeme and our host, Mike Speight, dive into the barriers – and potential solutions – to our sector’s need to embrace, support and enable innovation.
