Transforming tall building performance through research and innovation.
2025 PROGRAM PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Today’s tall buildings are tasked with not only providing efficient spatial use but also meeting the highest standards in energy efficiency, environmental impact, and occupant well-being.
Through innovative approaches, these skyscrapers are setting new benchmarks in sustainability, mental health, and inclusivity, becoming more flexible, greener, and healthier.
CTBUH is globally recognized not just as the arbiter of tall building heights but also as the definitive authority on sustainable urban development.
As the world’s leading nonprofit dedicated to the evolution of urban environments, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) stands at the forefront of transforming cities for a sustainable future.
With urbanization accelerating and the effects of climate change becoming increasingly pronounced, the role of tall buildings and urban density is more critical than ever.
This is where your company comes in.
To advance vertical urbanism and improve urban environments, more efforts are needed to address what that means for all people.
The Tall+Urban Innovation Program pushes beyond traditional building metrics to explore cutting-edge solutions that address unique site challenges while benefiting the broader industry.
By partnering with CTBUH, you will directly contribute to shaping the future of vertical urbanism. With a comprehensive agenda that includes white papers, technical guides, webinars, research papers, and more, CTBUH is poised to lead the discourse on how cities can be more sustainable, resilient, and livable.
