Objectives: In this lecture, we will look at why it is worth paying attention to existing buildings and using them, changing their functions, adapting them to the modern needs of the city and society, and why such a strategy is better than simply constructing new buildings. The topic touches on such UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (Goal 11); Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (Goal 12); Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all (Goal 8).
