Adaptive Reuse of Assets
This document presents a model policy for adaptive reuse of buildings to promote sustainable urban development by extending the lifespan of existing structures. Aiming to support cities in reducing carbon emissions, it emphasises reusing assets rather than new construction, aligning with climate goals.
Key elements include stakeholder engagement, community benefits, economic incentives, and the integration of technology to facilitate adaptive reuse projects. The policy also addresses potential challenges, such as displacement risks, and suggests best practices for balancing environmental, economic, and social benefits, providing a comprehensive framework to advance net-zero and resilient urban landscapes.
