The principles of the circular economy, the shift from take/make/dispose to design for reuse, have been slow to become the norm in the built environment sector. How can developers and constructors find a way to overcome the lack of a standardised way to incorporate recycled material into their projects?

The built environment sector has lacked common data standards that would enable better collaboration and innovation. Development of a shared data ecosystem would drive incredible economic growth across the sector.

As quantum computers mature from ‘interesting theory’ to ‘actual technology’, it’s a good time to look at how they might transform longstanding problems faced by engineers and designers across the built environment.
