Prof Jason Pomeroy on Sustainable Urbanism and the Future of Workplaces
At a recent Asia Pacific Corporate Real Estate Conference, Singapore-based leading architect Prof Jason Pomeroy took the stage to deliver a compelling keynote on sustainability and evolving trends in the built environment across APAC. Known for his pioneering contributions to zero-carbon design and climate-resilient urbanism, Prof Pomeroy’s insights resonated strongly with a diverse audience, spanning corporate real estate, facilities management, procurement, and workplace strategy professionals.
According to Prof Pomeroy, the cities and offices of tomorrow will be judged not only by their energy efficiency but by their human-centric approach to wellbeing and livability. He stressed that the post-COVID workplace must reflect new values—flexibility, health, and sustainability at its core.
Urban planning, Prof Pomeroy argued, must go beyond just mitigating the effects of climate change. It needs to reflect a commitment to socio-cultural consciousness, community wellbeing, and digital integration. His keynote offered a lens into how cities in Asia—many with dense populations and rising climate vulnerability—can lead the world in adaptive urban ideologies.
Notably, the concept of climate-resilient urbanism calls for built environments that are not only sustainable but also adaptable to the challenges brought by a changing climate, from extreme weather events to rising sea levels. This requires innovation in policy, design, and corporate engagement—areas where Asia is uniquely poised to lead.
Prof Pomeroy concluded that quality of life must become the central benchmark in real estate and workplace strategies. With digital transformation accelerating and the nature of work rapidly evolving, defining what truly constitutes an enriching work environment is critical.
