Making Better

is the next step in our thought leadership journey.

IPUT Real Estate Dublin has led the conversation about the future of work, life, and place.

IPUT continued this journey in September 2023 by hosting a major thought leadership event, ‘Making Better.’ The event included input from leaders in real estate and the built environment from Europe and the US, emphasising how thoughtful design can influence the future of the workplace, neighbourhoods, and cities.
