    Alison’s speech will address the rapid increase in high-rise living, looking at how, with pressure to accommodate a growing population, tall buildings are being recognised as a crucial section of our housing mix.

The conference will highlight design and building technology innovation in the UK high-rise sector facilitating learning and knowledge transfer plus providing a platform for discussion and debate.
