WorldGBC Global Webinar: Placemaking for a Net-Zero Future
As part of the World Green Building Council’s “Net Zero Solutions Around the World” event, held during the week of World Environment Day in June 2022, Swire Properties co-hosted a half-hour session called “Placemaking for a Net-Zero Future”.
