The Future We Build

About The Future We Build

The Future We Build is a podcast about how to deliver a sustainable built environment - shaped by innovation, investment, and real commercial decision making. Hosted by Alex Edds, a corporate sustainability leader and innovator with over 20 years inside the real estate industry, the show explores the challenges, opportunities and solutions of creating truly sustainable places and businesses. Drawing on experience working within large property companies, advising venture capital, and partnering with PropTech and climate tech disruptors, Alex goes beyond data and reporting and targets what really drives innovation and adoption. Through in person conversations with asset managers, sustainability leaders, founders, and investors, The Future We Build examines how the industry can better innovate, why progress is often slow, the risks of inaction and what it takes to create value, resilience and impact in the built environment. This is a show for people building, backing and servicing the next generation of real estate.
