(RE) Generation Stories, the series of events organised by THE PLAN with real estate operators and planners.

Silvia Turati, associate director GBPA Architects moderated the discussion on the topic ‘Residential Sustainability: Strategies for Long-Term Success’ with Davide Shiffer – Borgosesia SpA Real Estate CEO, Marta Stella – Borio Mangiarotti SpA – Board Member, and Nicolas Rodriguez – Nexity Operations Director.

The event stimulated reflection on affordability and susatinability, community involvement, productivity and customization, innovation in the service of architecture and the building lifecycle.

When assessing the economic sustainability of a housing project, it is important to consider several factors that can influence design and construction decisions.

Silvia Turati suggests that economic sustainability in housing design requires a careful balance between initial costs and long-term benefits. It also requires a comprehensive assessment of the financial, environmental and social benefits over the life cycle of the building.
