Rationale for the Centre

The Built Environment Sector-covering property development, real estate, construction, facilities management, urban planning and infrastructure-contributes significantly to national growth and  sustainable urban development.

Yet, the industry faces pressing challenges:

  • Shortage of skilled professionals.
  • Limited exposure to global best practices.
  • Lack of innovation.
  • Fragmented academic-industry connect.

With India’s rapid urbanization and the push for smart, inclusive, and resilient cities, there is an urgent need for multidisciplinary learning and innovation.

The RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) – Crescent Centre of Excellence for Built Environment (CoEBE) addresses this need by serving as a dynamic platform that bridges academia and industry, builds talent, fosters research, and promotes sustainability across the built environment lifecycle.

Vision

To be a leading Centre of Excellence fostering innovation, education, sustainability, and global standards across the built environment—from planning and design to operations and transformation.

Mission

To equip professionals, organisations and academia with knowledge, tools, and networks that drive excellence, promote multidisciplinary learning, and sustain urban development.
