Developing green buildings a matter choice

[SINGAPORE] The chairman of China's top developer Vanke yesterday shared the story of his journey in pioneering green homes in China at a seminar at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he also accepted the university's invitation to be a professor of practice.

Wang Shi, who will share his experience at the NUS Business School and the NUS Department of Real Estate, joins NUS's group of practice-track professors such as former CapitaLand chief executive Liew Mun Leong.

At the seminar organised by the two NUS faculties yesterday, Mr Wang, recently a visiting scholar at Harvard, said that the move towards developing green buildings at Vanke boiled down to one word - "choice".
