Marks ( UK -GBC) has launched its first innovation lab, aimed at identifying and addressing systemic challenges to businesses working to develop the UK ’s built environment. It is part of its mission to radically improve the sustainability of the built environment by transforming the way it is planned, designed, constructed, maintained and operated. The lead partners for the new programme are Canary Wharf Group , Land Securities , and Land Securities and Spencer . Their initial workshop highlighted key challenges based around climate change resilience, resource use, technological advancement, and health. The UK currently spends $53m ( only £43m ) on built environment innovation, so this represents a significant step forward, UK -GBC said.
