Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors Attends 2022 MIPIM Conference
Participants at international real estate conference share best practices for 'Driving Urban Change'
Leadership and members of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors®, Inc. (HGAR) traveled to Cannes, France recently to join some 20,000 attendees from more than 80 countries for the 2022 MIPIM conference, the largest international exhibition for real estate professionals.
The event, held March 15-18, featured more than 360 speakers and 2,400 exhibitors. This year’s theme was “Driving Urban Change” and discussions focused on making communities more sustainable, livable, affordable and resilient in the wake of Covid-19. Speakers also appealed to the industry to drive change in homes, offices, factories, health care facilities and other public spaces.
“We must build more housing, densify the city - and for this we must remove apprehensions about building permits,” said Former French President Francois Hollande, who opened the conference as the keynote March 15. “The next crises to come will relate to climate change. It is the public leaders who have the responsibility to avoid or at least reduce the climate crisis.”
