In this panel we will talk about the impact of strategic design on urban data centres, in terms of how they reshape the landscape of cities and how they engage them and to local communities.

We will focus on urban integration, architectural harmony with the urban context, mixed-use campuses and also community spaces and benefits. In addition, given the importance of sustainability, we will discuss noise control, emissions and heat reuse, but also the materials used and which processes are the most sustainable. And in the net zero race, we will address how targets vary from region to region and company to company, but also the importance of collaboration between forward-thinking companies.
