Living Places in Practice: Lessons from Building Sustainable, Healthy Homes: Denmark - California Climate Series

​Join us for an insightful morning session during SF Climate Week, where leading experts from Denmark and California come together to explore how buildings play a key role in shaping a more sustainable, healthy, and resilient future.

​This session introduces the concept Living Places, first launched in Copenhagen in 2023, and explores how the concept has been adapted across Europe and now the US while staying grounded in its five core principles: to build homes that are healthy, shared, simple, adaptive, and scalable.

​The panel features experienced California building professionals who will share their real-world experiences of implementing these principles in practice.
