Built by Nature has funded Optoppen: building up with timber, which has convened a European consortium to develop a knowledge and technical platform around "topping up" to increase the useable space in a building through lightweight roof extensions. This in turn creates a carbon sink on top of cities, contributing to both urban decarbonisation targets and densification strategies. The Optoppen knowledge hub will be launched tomorrow -- register now for the free lunchtime webinar... details below!
