About the session

Digital technology combined with more integrated processes are rapidly changing the way we plan, build, maintain and use our social and economic infrastructure and built assets.

Over the next decade this technology will combine with the internet of things (providing sensors and other real time performance information), advanced data analytics and the digital economy to enable better outcomes and enable citizens to make better use of the buildings and infrastructure we already have, this is Digital Built Britain (DBB).

The built environment as part of a smart networked world creates many new opportunities and business models, the engagement with industry and wider built environment stakeholders will be essential in the creation of new technical solutions, new behaviours and new smarter ways of constructing and manufacturing.
