NextGen is back for 2026 - and we’re kicking off the year with an inspiring deep dive into international development.
If We Specify It, Are We Responsible?
Ethics and Influence in Global Construction Supply Chains
In an increasingly interconnected world, every design decision carries weight far beyond the project site. When architects and built‑environment professionals specify materials, systems and partners, we shape not only buildings but the global supply chains behind them.
NextGen: International Development brings together emerging leaders from across the built‑environment sector for a panel discussion to examine how our choices influence equity and resilience internationally.
This session explores the ethical responsibilities embedded in specification, and how we can design and build in ways that strengthen communities, protect workers, and foster sustainable collaboration across borders.
A big thank you to Ridge and Solus for hosting this event.
