Arcadis at MIPIM

The world coming to us: how logistics has boomed

The logistics industry is in the spotlight after many of us relied on home deliveries during lockdown - a shift that has changed retail forever. But what does this mean for shops, the environment, and the people who make it all happen?

We're in Germany for our final episode, where Emma is joined by Raimund Paetzmann, VP of Corporate Real Estate at Zalando and Gordon Mauer, Head of Logistics Europe at Arcadis.

 

Green bricks & mortar: how to decarbonize construction

The construction sector’s carbon footprint is one of the biggest on earth, and this summer has offered some devastating reminders that climate change is a very real problem. From floods in Germany and Belgium, to fires in Greece and France - today’s program debates how we can make building more green.

Joining us in this episode are Adel Yahia, Managing Director, Immobel Belgium; Nicolas Bearelle, Founder, Re-Vive and Gunter Egghe, Commercial Director, Arcadis Belgium.

Demystifying the data center

Data centers not only act as digital warehouses, they can also be good neighbors. But what about the data itself? How much of it really needs storing, and how sustainable can it be?

Pledges & promises: who is leading us out of crisis?

In this episode we delve into politics and the relationship between the public and private sector. How do we work together to navigate ourselves out of challenges that do not respect borders or party politics?  

Our guests today are Gavin Barwell, UK government adviser; Nikolas Hill, Political Consultant in Germany and John Batten, Global Cities Director at Arcadis. 

What‘s next for hospitality in Spain and Portugal?
