Sydney’s $5BN Tunnel U-turn - #27
About this episode
This week we're heading to Australia to cover our latest B1M video on Sydney’s $5BN Tunnel U-turn. As you could imagine, building a new highway under Sydney Harbour is turning out to be VERY difficult! Especially when decisions are changed (or boomerang'd... yes, we went there). Fortunately for us, one of our hosts is a local-boy, and can help us navigate the topic.
Later in the show, we look at the UPDATED designs for a 411-metre new supertall skyscraper destined for Manhattan. Designed by Foster + Partners, 350 Park Avenue will rise 51-storeys above the city and feature a lot of trees and shrubbery - you KNOW we have opinions on this that you're not going to want to miss. We also chat about Harley Davidson building an open-air 700-bay motorcycle theatre outside its headquarters in Milwaukee, USA. The project is being led by The Harley Davidson Foundation, which has been engaging with local people to create a shared, long-term vision for the neighbourhood.
We end the show with a lovely email sent in from Darragh Griffin.
