This is an initiative led by the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat), CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to identify key research gaps and topics that deserve priority research activities in the field of tall buildings. The intended outcome is a published document that presents an extensive agenda for necessary future tall building research. The primary aim of the Roadmap is to identify and prioritise research within the field of tall buildings, thereby allowing the CTBUH, CIB, UNESCO and their partners to plan future research and seek funding in order to advance the typology in the coming years. The Roadmap’s intended audience will include Intergovernmental Organizations, the United Nations including their agencies and programs, national governments and agencies, non-governmental organizations, academia and research institutes, industry and industry umbrella organizations. In order to achieve these ambitions, the CTBUH is gathering the expert opinions of those involved in the design, construction, planning and research of tall buildings through an on-line survey.
