The building and civil engineering sector is facing a number of major challenges, linked to the population growththe growing demand for housing and infrastructure, as well as theclimate and energy trends. Environmental, societal and governmental demands, combined with the the need for sustainable management of natural resourcesThis is why the French government has set up a Against this backdrop, the French government has set up a national innovation acceleration strategy (France 2030 and PIA4 programs) named " Sustainable cities and innovative buildings which aims to boost sustainable construction. It is based on four major themes: sobriety, resilience, inclusion and urban production.
Development of new building materials and processes
Faced with climate and environmental challenges, the construction industry must innovate by adopting more sustainable materials, such as bio-sourced and recycled materialsand by optimizing construction processes for reduce carbon footprint. These innovations enable improve the energy efficiency of buildingsof extend their service life and of reduce construction waste. They also help to strengthen urban resilience in the face of climate risks, while meeting societal demands for sobriety and quality of life.
Digitalization and intelligent buildings
The and digitalization are playing a key role in the transformation of building and construction for the city of tomorrow. The integration of technologies such as 3D modeling (BIM), l'artificial intelligence and the connected sensors helps to improve the design, management and efficiency of urban projects. These tools optimize planning, facilitate collaboration between stakeholders and enable more precise management of resources, thus reducing costs and the ecological footprint. Digitization also contributes to the creation of smart and connected citiesThese new solutions will enable us to better meet the needs of local residents, while promoting the sustainability and resilience of our infrastructures.
City of tomorrow and inclusion
Inclusion in the city of tomorrow is a key challenge for the construction industry, which must design spaces accessible to all. This includes affordable housing suitable infrastructures, and one equitable access to services, transport and public spaces. The aim is to reduce inequalities and improve quality of lifeby integrating accessibility right from the design stage of urban projects. This approach strengthens social cohesion while creating more welcoming and functional environments for all citizens.
Grants and calls for projects to finance your projects for tomorrow's buildings
The State and the Regions are opening numerous calls for projects to respond to the ambitions of this key sector and to provide financial support for innovation and investment projects in the building and civil engineering sector.
G.A.C. offers you a summary of the public assistance available in the region for players in the construction industry.
NB: calls for projects designed to meet the challenges of energy resilience are detailed in our " Environment and energy ".
