Antony Wood, CEO of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, delivered the keynote presentation at the International Mass Timber Conference (IMTC) back in April 2021.
The presentation explores the trends, challenges, and opportunities surrounding the adoption of mass timber in the global tall building industry, focusing on the positive benefits that would be yielded at all scales. The topic is viewed through the lens of “sustainable vertical urbanism,” which calls for increased urban densities enabled by a new breed of tall buildings that are simultaneously resilient, efficient, regionally appropriate, and human-focused.
