As I write this introduction, three months into the post, it occurs tome how similar many of our markets are at the moment – dealingwith economic instability, the after-effects of the pandemic,labour and material shortages and the energy crisis. And withthese macro issues come other localised challenges, opportunitiesand solutions. Yet, at RLB, how we draw on our pool of globaltalent to collaborate, how we work with our industry bodies andorganisations within each of our regions, and how we talk to otherindustries to share best practice and innovation is becoming moreimportant than ever. RLB’s history covers nearly 240 years of delivering solutionsand successful outcomes within the built environment. We havehelped to build roads that bring social mobility, hospitals, schoolsand other public spaces that service communities, and homesand offices where those communities live and work. We havecreated inspiring buildings where World Cup and Olympic eventsare staged. We have helped to build data centres that power ourcommunications and connect across the regions. And as our world grows bigger, as we build vertically into theskies and even into the metaverse, it also becomes smaller astime and technology allow us to come together with those faraway. This Perspective magazine is our way of sharing insights intothe important work of RLB, both with external stakeholders andinternally within our own teams. It looks to the future of how wenavigate the built environment, how we bring imagination to life forour communities, while putting each of those communities withinthe context of our bigger world.
