Pleased to see progress on Nottingham's Broad Marsh area. Back in September 2020 Green Hustle's first festival, all online in the pandemic, hosted (alongside friends at Nottingham Climate Assembly) the first public meeting on re-imagining this opportune former shopping centre site... In an assembly format, we listened to over 60 attendees' hopes and dreams for our city's future. You can watch the whole thing back here: https://lnkd.in/di64e2br Background info was provided by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust CEO Paul Wilkinson as well as two of our most pioneering and community-minded politicians, then-Deputy Leader and Carbon Neutral Nottingham 2028 champion Sally Longford and the ever-excellent Nadia Whittome MP. Ok it wasn't a terribly balanced panel, but was at a green-themed festival and 10,000 people had at that point already signed a petition calling for it to be made a green space. Early days for me, my very first experience co-designing and facilitating anything like an assembly. We also heard from a seven year old, and the brilliant Lucelia Rodrigues reflecting on what our youngest citizens wanted to see from the space from school engagement. But it was what came from our participants that was the magic, and it helped stimulate the official Big Conversation, playing a part in informing these plans. Jury is out on whether they deliver... Glad to see so many green roofs, more room given over to people and nature, even an actual marsh! And space for celebrating our heritage, which is what Nottingham people called for. (I just hope the Green Heart park doesn't get any smaller) The new NHS diagnostic centre and re-use of the broadly unloved old Broadmarsh centre's rather brutal frame is also, I think, fantastic. People power! 🏹 💚 EDITS - some good people have contradicted my initially rosey assessment, and I admit it isn't perfect. I have rebalanced a bit. I don't think we're ever all going to be totally happy AND it be viable for developers. Maybe a medium is being found here. I hope it is at least as green as the picture paints... Let's remember many people also find the idea of it being a big green space ridiculous and impractical, though I would love that too! I am proud of what we did in growing the conversation and demanding real engagement.

Managing an asset with such a high profile is both exciting and daunting. Can't wait to see this project unfold. #centrallondon #propertymanagement #trophybuilding

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is launching a $164 million West Gate Expansion project, led by Hensel Phelps, to enhance its facilities in response to increased post-pandemic travel demand. The expansion will add 84,500 square feet across three levels and three new gates, improving passenger amenities with more seating, spacious restrooms, quiet areas, nursing rooms, and an outdoor patio. It is slated to open in 2026. This project is part of a larger $6.5 billion plan comprising 61 upgrades over two decades at the airport, including a new concourse with ten gates and an underground tunnel connecting existing facilities. However, the broader initiative has faced legal challenges, including an $88 million settlement over the removal of the South Terminal facility and vacant buildings. Additionally, other major Texas airports like Houston's William P. Hobby Airport, San Antonio International Airport, and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport are undergoing significant renovations and expansions.

Australia is set to become one of the world’s the fastest growing construction markets. 🦘 Thanks to a large pipeline of urban infrastructure projects, such as the $12bn Sydney Metro, Australia’s construction sector is forecast to average 3.4% growth a year this decade. This means that despite low projected urbanisation growth and high quality infrastructure, the country still ranks eighth in the Construction Partner Index, a brand new global ranking of states’ construction partnership and export growth potential launched recently by Mace.
