It's an opportunity to see if lessons from the best London developments, progressive engagement approaches and communication approaches can help another city on the other side of the world.

We are in Milan with a Milanese-London team exploring the potential for urban renewal of a big former office block in the city centre. Its a project for Allianz and working with architects SOM. We can’t say much about it at the moment but we hope to harness the city’s cultural and creative firepower for positive effect and mutual benefit as the neighbourhood undergoes significant investment - including a new metro line.

We are all horrified by the global plastics situation. We all want to do something. We also want that something to have impact. This means as well as our individual behaviour we need new solutions that can get to scale.

One UK company outside Birmingham is making a revolutionary new plastic that can hopefully have a massive positive impact on the bloated packaging industry. They are called Aquapak Polymers, their new material is ocean friendly, and scalable. We are very pleased to be working with them to get their story out into the world in the most effective way possible.
