WUF13 highlights role of digital technologies in housing sector VIDEO
Baku, May 18, AZERTAC
At WUF13, discussions centered on developing a sustainable and environmentally responsible housing sector and the role of digital technologies in supporting it.
Leila Guici, Senior Advocacy Manager of the ClimateTech and Digital Utilities at GSMA, addressed the closing session of the Assemblies held as part of the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
She welcomed the fact that digital technologies were discussed across all panels, saying they can be applied from construction materials to energy, water, and waste management.
“Digitalization is already here,” she underlined.
Leila Guici emphasized that the main issue is not the absence of a business model, but rather its assessment within an incorrect budget framework. She also underlined the importance of public-private partnerships, stressing that the private sector should be regarded as a key driver of affordable housing policies and engaged in decision-making from an early stage.
