Modern engineering is rewriting the rulebook and revolutionising how we live. In Mega Builds, Fred Mills - the founder of global construction platform The B1M - takes you inside ten of the most extraordinary engineering projects that are reshaping our modern world. From a 170km-long smart city in Saudi Arabia, to Japan's levitating railway and France's bold quest for limitless energy, Mills delivers an eye-opening tour of the biggest engineering challenges set to change the world as we know it. By the end of this book, you'll learn- Why the world's biggest city has been built in the worst place imaginable. Where the vision of a single ruler in the desert is rewriting our understanding of what's possible. What drives us to build ever-higher buildings and design ever-faster trains. And above all, how the dizzying scale of human imagination will inform the future of the man-made world. Written in Fred's signature accessible style, Mega Builds demystifies the complexities while exploring the economic, environmental and societal stakes of building at unprecedented scale. The trajectory of our civilisation is being authored today all around us, not in words on a page, but in steel and concrete. Meet the projects and people set to transform our very experience of life on earth.
