This week we're heading to Liam's native New Zealand to cover The B1M's latest video all about Auckland’s $3.2BN new underground railway. Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city - located on the North Island and home to over 1.5M people - but it's never had an underground railway... until now! It's branded as the "City Rail Link" (CRL) and we have opinions. We ask Liam what it's like being Kiwi. We think of what New Zealand celebrities we can remember. We get distracted. It's great.
Later in the show, we look at Toronto's ongoing skyscraper boom by chatting about two new 75-storey structures designed by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture that are set to rise within a block of each other on Yonge Street. We also chat about US robotics company Boston Dynamics' newly released video of its Atlas robot helping out a construction worker - it's like something straight out of a Sci-Fi film. Lastly, we talk about the world's largest urban solar farm potentially being constructed in Rome. The project forms part of a masterplan created by Carlo Ratti Associati, architect Italo Rota, and urbanist Richard Burdett for the city's 2030 Expo bid.
We end the show with a lovely email sent in from Matthew Wellington and a movie-related construction question...
