2024 Shaping vibrant, resilient cities, places and environments

We’d like to thank everyone for the continued opportunities to collaborate on projects across the world during 2024.

From master planning new cities and regions to our appointment to the Legacy Development Corporation Framework for the London Olympic Park site, and the continued transformation of Bristol we’re creating impact at all scales. Our pioneering biodiversity strategies in Brisbane and innovative flood resilience projects in the UK demonstrate our commitment to sustainable design, and we’re looking forward to the Australian Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka and the continued roll out of dramatic new lookouts and tourist areas along Australia’s Great Ocean Road. More and more clients and developers are using our digital twins to ensure world-class project outcomes, climate resilient places people can love and enjoy.

We’ve also shared through keynotes and conferences of touring Biourbanism in Latin America & the Caribbean, with Founder & Chief Design Officer Adrian McGregor delivering keynote talks including at the International Congress of Architecture and Urbanism. You can read his account here.

We also wish you a happy festive season, and we hope you spend some time with loved ones and friends. We look forward to continuing the collaboration in 2025.
