How Schindler is Reconfiguring Urban Development

MORRISTOWN, NJ, February 20, 2024 – Between a global housing shortage and the decreased need for office space, it is overwhelmingly evident that pre-existing buildings must be repurposed to meet the needs of ever-changing urban hubs.

How can this be done? By reconfiguring and retrofitting established developments—including equipping them with flexible elevator systems—to prevent building concepts from becoming outdated.

Florian Troesch, Schindler Group's Head of Transit Management & Digital Ecosystems, explains:

With 80% of the buildings of 2050 already in existence, we must adapt what is there, and design those adaptations for a high degree of flexibility."
