Organise a Net Zero Imperative Technical Assistance Panel (TAP)

The ULI Net Zero Imperative (NZI) is a multi-year initiative to accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment at the city level. The program sponsors technical assistance panels in a select number of global cities annually and is designed to help building owners, cities, and other relevant constituents reduce carbon emissions associated with buildings, communities, and cities. For more on the global programme, click here.

Past cohort cities from APAC include:

  • Beijing – Read Report
    This TAP focuses on Beijing’s Chaoyang CBD, helping them to develop a long-term strategy for more effective engagement of stakeholders so the district can become net zero carbon. The TAP panel gave recommendations on areas including cost-effective retrofit, policy incentives, leveraging data collection and green financing.
  • Shenzhen – Read Report
    Shenzhen is one of the technology innovation hubs in China, with a number of its older industrial zones looking to redevelop into innovation districts. The TAP report provides a local policy context and recommends technology incentive strategies to help incorporate net zero building technologies in this process.
  • Hong Kong – Read Report
    Located at the heart of residential areas, community-focused shopping centres are the place to go not only for daily necessities but also to build community. This TAP aims to put together a practical guide on how to engage tenants at community-focused shopping centres in order to accelerate decarbonisation.
  • Melbourne – Read Report
    The goal of the effort is to develop a precinct-scale decarbonization model, with measurable outcomes, that can be replicated across the City of Melbourne and Australia more broadly to build critical mass towards pilot and action. The development of this prototype for a zero-carbon precinct will enable a pilot of the Retrofit Melbourne Plan Initiative.
  • Shanghai – Read Report
    The ULI East China’s NZI program will bring together important stakeholder groups including developers, building material manufacturers, construction companies, and service providers and identify areas where improvements are needed to enhance transparency, reliability, and efficiency of embodied carbon estimation. The intention is to promote best practices for reducing embodied carbon through improved building design, material choice, and increasing awareness of embodied carbon along the real estate value chain.
