Managing Director - Whitby Wood Mills, Chairman - Board of Trustees, Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat
Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) 2024 London – Paris….What an amazing week! So energized by all the great technical talks and networking…that I am virtually jet-lag proof (almost). For those of you who attended hope you have had a chance to check-out the new CTBUH Journal launch “VERTICAL URBANISM the magazine of the CTBUH”. While I have been involved in some of the strategic discussions on content and direction, its the first time I’ve seen it in all its glory. And I must what the team has achieved is indeed the next level. This flagship issue contains articles by Norman Foster - Foster + Partners “My Tall Buildings”, Interviews with MVRDV founders Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs, and Nathalie de Vries and Santiago Calatrava LLC as well as the report of the new CTBUH City Advocacy Forum comparing strategies of London, Miami, Singapore and Toronto with giants of policy Francisco García Iglesias, Lay Bee Yap, Peter Murray OBE and James Parakh and much more. The new VERTICAL URBANISM magazine is like a hybrid of the Economist and Monocle with a focus on Future Cities and Tall Buildings. Congratulations to Francisco Javier Quintana de Uña, Will Hunter, Daniel Safarik and the whole team of editors and contributors. If you don’t have your copy yet go check it out on the CTBUH website. #CTBUH2024 #VERTICALURBANISM_Issue1 #CTBUHCAF
