B side

What future for tunnels ?


Just like good old vinyl records, our newsletters are now available on two sides: the A-Side (available here) provides a choice of original articles revolving around a central theme that is changing the way we design, build and operate cities and infrastructure. The B-Side provides suggestions for further reading on the same topic.


Mobility, logistics, waste: tunnels are one of the keys to resolving the major issues facing dense cities. Explore with us their new applications and new ways of building them.

Paris Metropole : Becoming Carbon-Neutral by 2050

Leonard has joined forces with Shell and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to lead a collaborative approach to build prospective scenarios for a Carbon Free Paris in 2050. This project has led us to produce a report as well as an online event to be held on November 18th.
We will explore the three scenarios that present a different vision of possible futures for the Paris Metropolis in 2050. This will be followed by a question and answer session to encourage discussion.
