S1 Ep3: Crossrail crisis, regulating construction, and making the built environment beautiful

Already a year behind schedule and £2bn over budget, why is the Crossrail project causing so many problems? Taming the industry’s out-of-control practices could benefit all levels of the supply chain – but who can make that happen?

Andy von Bradsky’s appointment as the government’s head of architecture comes at a time when government is focusing on beauty in the built environment. But can this approach make a difference?

The Building Talks Net Zero series, brought to you by the team at http://Building.co.uk, will feature influencers and disrupters who are key to finding solutions to the climate emergency. In the year the UK hosts COP26, the biggest ever climate change conference, the construction industry is focused on the carbon agenda like never before. Each of our guests will bring their unique perspective on the challenges ahead, how to tackle them and most importantly how to affect real change. This series will be co-hosted by Building’s editor Chloe McCulloch and Building Design’s assistant editor Elizabeth Hopkirk. As well as in-depth interviews each week, Chloe and Elizabeth will be joined by Simon Wyatt, sustainability partner at Cundall to unpick some net zero jargon and sort the greenwash from tangible action.
