Construction and design experts will discuss in Doha how can the challenges of sustainability be converted into opportunities, at the 5th Annual Concepts Middle East conference which convenes in the Qatari capital on 28-29 May.

 

“We need to start discussing about the bigger picture of the true economic cost of ‘non-sustainable’ design as compared to ‘sustainable’ design, rather than discussing about some initial financial implications in a typical project” says Holley Chant, Executive Director – Sustainability at KEO International Consultants. Chant is one of the many experts who will be addressing a delegation of more than 100 construction and design professionals at the upcoming event.

 

The summit will debate how Qatar’s mega projects are balancing the Middle Eastern and global standards while working towards realizing the Qatar National Vision 2030.
