Subtitled in 6 languages – English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Chinese – these videos will be broadly shared on the Internet and on social media. A brochure in 5 languages will also highlight them along with the candidates awarded with a mention of the international jury.

The Construction21 international network mobilises more than 60 media partners and professional organisations in each of the country it covers and also on an international scale, by providing an online media kit accessible to all with articles, press releases, emailings, social media posts, banners and more…

The realisations rewarded by the contest constitute a source of inspiration for all professionals working in the building and city sectors. They demonstrate how to decarbonize our societies, either by using local resources in short supply chains, or reinvented traditional technics or cutting-edge technologies, or even by creating a true intelligence for the building and its systems, or by searching new sources of energies. Most of all, the awarded pioneering projects showed that they could integrate the human aspect as a central factor of their sustainability.
