Show Notes
This week we talk about Egypt's "New Administrative Capital" Project (NAC) that's being constructed just outside of Egypt's ancient and now preceding capital city, Cairo - the twist is that this new metropolis is being built in the middle of a desert that's centred around Africa's new tallest building - The Iconic Tower - a 393.8 metres (1,292 ft) beast of a skyscraper! Also in the show, we chat about the latest Tomorrow's Build video "The Problem With America’s Next Megacity"... is this Austin? San Francisco? Columbus?- nope! It's Miami, Florida.
Later, we announce the WINNER of Construction Story of the Year. We talk about Saudi Arabia's "The Line" starting construction, and a new earth-sheltered stadium in Quzhou, China.
We end the episode with your comments!
