In this podcast:
The breakdown of traditional real estate “sectors” and boundaries
The role of technology in changing how we use buildings
The rising power of social value in real estate investing
Expanding the horizons of those working in the build environment
How to re-skill in a world of operational real estate
The changing face of later-living

Vanessa’s recommended book is Good to Great, Jim Collins.
Her favourite building is the Monadnock building in Chicago for its role in driving innovation in building upwards during the late 19th century.
Vanessa’s emerging theme to watch out for is the role of public data in so far as how it interacts with the built environment; who will own it and how will it be used?
