Shared Responsibility

The CBRE + Eversheds event I attended in Dubai was a standout moment of my trip, offering an invaluable glimpse into the region’s thriving property, logistics and development sectors. Bringing together professionals from a broad range of industries—finance, law, construction, and beyond—the event showcased a real collaborative spirit that underpins growth.

What struck me most was the shared sense of purpose among attendees. Here were experts from different fields, all contributing unique perspectives but working collectively towards the bigger picture: creating developments that don’t just work commercially but also elevate the communities they serve. It’s a refreshing reminder of the power of collaboration in driving meaningful progress.

For those of us in property and placemaking, this approach is key. The success of any project lies in understanding how it fits into a wider ecosystem—economically, socially, and culturally. Events like this reaffirm that by working together across disciplines, we can achieve truly transformative outcomes. Dubai, with its bold vision and open mindset, is leading the way in making this kind of collaboration the norm.
