In this episode of the Modus podcast Building the Future, we’ve brought together two rising stars based in San Francisco and New York to discuss the issues affecting their work in the built environment.
How has COVID-19 impacted their jobs and the types of projects taking place? Are cities recovering from the economic impact of the pandemic and how has the industry benefitted from the shift to flexible working practices?
We also focus on sustainability and ESG (environmental social and governance) factors in the sector. How much are these values integrated into the work they do and what properties have incorporated this in an impressive way?
The podcast is hosted by Alexandra Faciu MRICS, who sits on the RICS Americas regional board and specialises in portfolio and asset management.
