Industry leader highlights the role of design, mindset, and everyday choices in shaping a more sustainable future.

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / Dubai-based entrepreneur Nitin Bhatnagar is using his platform to advocate for a shift in how people think about the spaces they live in. Featured in a new in-depth interview, Bhatnagar urged developers, designers, and homeowners alike to adopt a more conscious approach to building and living.

"Real estate should never just be about concrete and numbers," Bhatnagar said. "It's about the feeling of home, the human connection to space, and designing something timeless yet relevant."

Why It Matters

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, buildings account for nearly 38% of global carbon emissions. In regions like the Middle East, residential developments also account for high levels of water and energy use.

For Bhatnagar, the responsibility goes beyond meeting codes and standards. "Sustainability is more than a checklist-it's a mindset," he explained. "We must ask ourselves: what impact will this space have ten years from now?"

A Call for Conscious Action

Bhatnagar shared personal lessons from his career, including the value of slowing down and prioritizing fewer, more meaningful ideas. "One idea, well executed, is more powerful than ten half-finished plans," he noted.

But his call to action is directed at more than just developers. "You don't have to be a builder to think like one," he said. "Every choice we make shapes our surroundings. If we approach it with care, we can build meaning into the everyday."

He encourages people to ask themselves simple but powerful questions:

• Is this space built to last-or just built to sell?

• Does it reflect human needs-or just trends?

• Does it create room for joy, rest, and connection?
