CADE2025
Co-create, Co-live, Co-own
Under the annual theme "Co-create, Co-live, Co-owng", this flagship architectural event will converge global design leaders, developers, engineering experts, and material innovators at Hall W5 of Shanghai New International Expo Center from November 5-8, 2025.

This theme profoundly addresses core challenges in China's urbanization, marking the industry's evolution from single-function design to multidimensional value creation.

Co-Create: Pioneering participatory models replace top-down approaches, engaging governments, developers, and communities to optimize urban spaces through collaborative planning.

Co-Share: Smart systems (BIM/IBMS) enable adaptive spatial configurations, maximizing resource efficiency via mixed-use solutions in land-scarce cities.

Co-Live: Bioclimatic design integrates low-carbon materials and green tech, forging energy-smart structures that achieve ecological symbiosis.
As Asia-Pacific's premier architectural platform, CADE 2025 responds to our era's critical challenges through design-driven collaboration. Uniting real estate, engineering, and system solution providers under the "Co-create, Co-live, Co-own" mandate, this landmark event will propel high-quality industry development through multidimensional innovation.
