Schaduf Group has long been at the forefront of sustainable urban transformation in the Middle East, and the Design Build Breathe (DBB) 2018 Conference showcased the group’s continued leadership in sustainable development. DBB is one of Schaduf’s flagship initiatives, designed to connect governments, developers, technology providers, and innovators with the latest approaches to sustainable urban living.
Since its inception, Schaduf Group has pioneered sustainability in Egypt, beginning with planting green roofs in low-income neighborhoods and launching the nation’s first living green wall in 2013. These initiatives illustrate the group’s commitment to combining environmental stewardship with innovative design, proving that green thinking can save natural resources, reduce operational costs, and drive economic growth through new job creation.
The 2018 edition of DBB continued to build on these goals by highlighting sustainable urban solutions from across the world. The conference emphasized the integration of design, technology, and environmental planning to improve quality of life in urban areas. Through collaborative dialogue, attendees explored practical and scalable solutions for resilient cities in the Middle East.
During DBB 2018, Schaduf Group underscored the importance of urban green solutions, environmental innovation, and sustainable planning, bridging international best practices with local implementation strategies. The event provided a platform for exchanging ideas on how sustainable infrastructure, renewable resources, and green building technologies can shape the cities of tomorrow.
