Habitat

The Habitat sector focuses on the planning, design, construction, management and maintenance of buildings, housing and urban spaces. A highly multidisciplinary sector, it comprehends disciplines from architecture, engineering and urban planning to waste management. The sector ranges from small housing refurbishments to large urban projects, covering aspects such as energy efficiency, sustainability and safety and accessibility. It also includes both ends of the value chain, from the production of building materials and equipment for living spaces to the management of waste generated during the construction or renovation process.
