Reshaping the Urban Landscape

The 4th Construction Technology Summit (CTS 2024) was hosted by the First Construction Council (FCC) and CONSTRUCTION WORLD magazine at Hotel Sahara Star in Mumbai. “New technology is transforming the way buildings are designed, engineered, built and managed,” said Pratap Padode, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, ASAPP Media, discussing how innovations previously deemed impractical are now essential for tackling complex infrastructure projects and the transformative impact of new technologies. “Precast, modular construction or even advanced technology like 3-D printing, robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning can deliver business benefits, whether one is designing sustainable houses or reimagining the infrastructure of entire cities. The precision achieved through software and factory processes allows for optimal use of materials, minimising waste across building modules. This shift towards more sustainable practices underscores the industry’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact.”
