The Construction Sector Committee (CSC) of EuroCham Vietnam, in cooperation with Council on Vertical Urbanism (CVU) SEA is convening its signature Tall Building Forum to provide forward-looking insights into sustainable urban high-rise development. Building on the strong momentum and success of the 2024 edition, this year’s forum will explore key themes such as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), sustainability in high-rise design, affordable housing, and integrated urban development strategies.

The program will feature distinguished architects, urban planners, developers, and sustainability experts from Vietnam and abroad, creating a direct platform for policy dialogue, knowledge exchange, and professional networking. In addition to panel discussions and technical sessions, the forum will also include project showcases, where leading industry players present exemplary developments that demonstrate innovation in design, engineering excellence, and sustainable urban integration.

With a strong line-up of speakers and an expanded exhibition component, this year’s Tall Building Forum is expected to attract high-level participation from construction companies, developers, consultants, investors, and other stakeholders across the built-environment ecosystem.
