Smarter Transformation
A magazine dedicated to helping accelerate our smarter transformation to the better built environment we need.
Issue 05 - Skills
This is the fifth issue of Smarter Transformation, and it’s the first issue focused on skills. We’re exploring what it means for the sector to be at the heart of rapid transformation driven by housing demand, changes to our climate, and increasing infrastructure needs.
Past issues
-
In our first issue, we explore Scotland’s innovation potential as the UK’s Mass Timber Centre of Excellence, which could, if enabled with policy alignment, put Scotland at the forefront of a sustainable buildings revolution, bolster our local economies, create new workforces and supply chains, and deliver much needed public and private infrastructure at speed and scale, all the while impacting positively on the planet too.
Smarter Transformation will tackle key themes such as the housing emergency, retrofitting our existing buildings, creating a competent workforce of the future and much, much more. There is a lot of valuable content in the first issue and we hope that you find it insightful and enjoy.
