It is refreshing when we see spaces transformed with a better propose, like bull stadiums to art pop ups ☺

Sustainable infrastructure systems are those that are planned, designed, constructed, operated and decommissioned in a manner that ensures economic and financial, social, environmental (including climate resilience), and institutional sustainability over the entire infrastructure life cycle.
What are examples of sustainable infrastructure? The concept of sustainable infrastructure refers to equipment and systems that are designed to meet the population's essential service needs including roads, bridges, telephone pylons, hydroelectric power stations, etc. based on all-round sustainable principles.
Building new sustainably has clear design lines, if there is freedom to implement them, but what happens if there is not?
Many European cities right now struggle hardly with the lack of housing for their citizens.
They have very strict bureaucratic laws that protect and dont allow new designs, to preserve the look of the ancient cities. Right now the renovate interiors, heating systems and oil based connections, but this seems to not be enough.
Forcing new builders to construct as ancient times, making them follow building instructions make on 1940, not allowing to choose materials, stallings, windows, dooming investment to fall on the old.
Recycling old spaces is a very good practice, we need law changes to have the freedom to do so.
What are we gonna do with all the infrastructure losses that sustainable change will bring?
