Arup signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with British Research Establishment (BRE) and Smart City Development Alliance (SCDA) to promote the development of sustainable and smart cities in China.
Under the collaboration agreement with BRE, Arup will join hands with the UK-based international research institute to promote BREEAM standards and support its training in China. The two parties will also work together on strategic research in eco-cities and urban sustainability, green building design, consultancy and innovation, as well as digital management for construction safety.
The MoU with SCDA will see Arup join the Alliance to foster collaboration and lead smart city development across the globe. Leveraging on Arup’s expertise and experience in designing smart cities, both parties will explore and unlock opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative.
