Cities with Innovation-Led Buildings Will Shape our Shared Future

Our global future is increasingly linked to the progress cities make in solving some of society's greatest challenges. STPs and AOIs are powerful connectors for enabling these urban areas to transform into hubs of creativity and experimentation - ultimately driving innovation forward. Our industry plays an integral role between city authorities and other vital stakeholders, helping to create living labs where collaboration thrives.

A vibrant urban setting can be a hotbed for scientific innovation, but it needs a certain type of built environment to support it. Buildings that facilitate cooperation, communication and “collision density”  are necessary to nurture the ingenuity of scientists, which will unlock a city’s potential to be a crucible for innovation.

My firm Life Sciences Real Estate (www.lifesciencesrealestate.org) brings the worlds of science and real estate closer together and we study innovation-led buildings.
