What you need to know about Mipim in Cannes, a fair under the sign of sustainable real estate

Red carpet for the annual meeting of the real estate industry not to be missed.

The International Real Estate Professionals Market opened under the sign of sustainable, useful real estate, on the idea that together, decision-makers and builders, must think regarding creating more sustainable places, a prosperous model for all.

Sustainability

The theme this year is the decarbonization of the sector. If real estate is currently in tension (difficult supplies and recruitment, rising energy costs, suspended building permits…) the subject is oh so topical.

Promoters, investors, banking groups, municipalities, companies and political leaders gather around conferences or workshops or at the 2,400 exhibition stands installed.

Low-carbon construction, recycling of materials, challenge of the Olympic Games, passive housing, etc., it will be a question of the green real estate of the future, whether public, residential or offices, it should be sustainable. Really.

Distinguished guests

Often, real estate professionals are aware of the issue but come up once morest a land, urban planning, economic and sometimes political reality.

Distinguished guests from 90 countries are expected to reflect on these issues, draw inspiration from sustainable projects already completed and take action.

Christophe Béchu, Minister of Ecology, Olivier Klein, Minister Delegate for Housing and Valérie Pécresse for the Île-de-France Region, will be there for France, for example.

Opening on Tuesday, MIPIM announces the American economist and essayist Jeremy Rifkin who believes that human beings are capable of meeting the climate challenge.

crazy projects

Thursday evening, moreover, will be awarded the Awards for the most remarkable projects built in the world. Eleven categories: cultural buildings, tourism, industrial, urban, etc. will compete for a distinction.

Sometimes crazy projects, in the shape of a bubble, a glazed cube, blended into the landscape or, on the contrary, very visible. Remarkable projects in any case. Some French in the running. Results to follow.

Inspirational role models

On Monday, on the sidelines of MIPIM, we were talking regarding co-living, this “new” model of housing which mixes private and common spaces to reduce the real estate pressure which weighs in particular on students in tense areas, but not only. The idea has already met with great success.

The Palais des festivals should welcome 23,000 visitors for this edition of Mipim 2023.
