We recently joined Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region and BUILD NOW: Waterloo Region at the announcement of one of the largest affordable and attainable housing projects in Canada. The University Avenue East project in #Waterloo will create over 1,000 affordable homes. With 70% of homes going to qualified buyers and a strong focus on family-sized units, this project is helping address the missing middle and shaping a more inclusive future. We’re proud to collaborate on this community-first development, which prioritizes family-friendly housing with three and four-bedroom homes and ensures long-term affordability through innovative ownership and rental models. #BuildNow #WaterlooRegion #AffordableHousing

Fantastic to welcome the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan at our summer reception this evening alongside our host Arcadis.   Sir Sadiq talked through the importance of the public and private sectors working together to ensure the capital remains the best place in the world in which to do business. He also thanked BusinessLDN for its work in campaigning to create the role of the Mayoralty 25 years ago and build a better, fairer and more prosperous city.   The Mayor outlined why London is now uniquely placed to attract inward investment, as it offers the "certainty and stability that is absent elsewhere", and made the case for backing major transport projects in the capital to ensure it continues to be an engine of UK-wide growth.    Also great to hear about next steps for the London Growth Plan, set to put "rocket boosters" under the city's economy over the months ahead.   Peter Hogg reflected on the GLA's many successes as it celebrates its 25th anniversary, including Transport for London's "pioneering" work, as the authority continues to be essential to maintaining the capital's reputation as the "world's greatest city."   Our Chief Executive John Dickie called for London to be unleashed so that it can deliver and drive growth, while urging the Government to consign speculation about a wealth tax "to the scrapheap."   Our Deputy CEO Muniya Barua highlighted how our close working relationship with the Mayor and the Greater London Authority is a win-win, helping to deliver some major wins for the capital including a new long-term funding settlement for TfL, ensuring HS2 reaches Euston and deliver a new City Hall Developer.    And finally, our Chair Sir Kenneth Olisa gave reasons to be positive about London’s present and future - seeking to dispel the myth that the UK is unable to build infrastructure.   Huge thanks to all who attended - keep an eye out for upcoming events over the rest of the summer and beyond 🚀

Rubin, una de las infraestructuras científicas más avanzadas del mundo, ubicada en Cerro Pachón, Región de Coquimbo. Este observatorio no solo será clave para el estudio del universo y la materia oscura, sino que también representa un hito en ingeniería, sostenibilidad y colaboración internacional. Cada estructura fue diseñada para resistir condiciones extremas, impulsando el conocimiento humano desde #Chile hacia el mundo. Con más de 44 años participando en las grandes obras del país, seguimos aportando con ingeniería de precisión, innovación y talento local a proyectos que posicionan a Chile como un referente global en ciencia y tecnología. ¡Felicitaciones a todo el equipo de Arcadis Chile que hizo posible este gran logro! #VeraRubinObservatory #EngineeringExcellence #Sustainability Image credit: Rubin Observatory/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA

Arcadianiseren… Voor je als nieuwe collega daadwerkelijk aan de slag gaat voor al die mooie klanten moet je wél de organisatie eerst een beetje leren kennen. Want je moet uren invullen, wat te doen als er een journalist belt? Of als je extra vakantiedagen wilt inkopen of je NS Businesskaart verliest? Om dat allemaal te vertellen hebben we een Nieuwe Medewerkersdag, die deel uitmaakt van het ‘onboardingsprogramma’. Die bijeenkomst houden we vaak op of rond de eerste van de maand. We maakten allemaal die spannende, uitdagende periode door waarin we ons aan ons nieuwe team voorstelden, onze nieuwe rol leerden kennen en meer inzicht kregen in de organisatie, cultuur en werkomgeving van Arcadis. Deze periode is cruciaal en legt de basis voor de verdere ervaringen van een nieuwe collega. Van de week waren er weer verse collega’s, die werden toegesproken door verschillende anderen om ze wegwijs te maken. Ze stonden voor de ingang van ons kantoor in Amersfoort. #ImprovingQualityOfLife

NSW's energy transition is underway, with the state's last coal-fired power plant set to retire by 2038, marking a significant shift in the energy landscape. Meanwhile, Sydney’s energy demand is surging—and will only grow as the city’s population expands. This raises an urgent question: How will Sydney meet its energy demands while achieving net-zero targets? The answer may already be within reach. A recent report from Committee for Sydney, Arup, and #Arcadis unveils a bold vision: transforming Sydney into a renewable energy zone (REZ). Our research reveals a surprising opportunity. By harnessing the power of rooftops across metropolitan Sydney, the city could generate up to 75% of its energy needs—all from solar. Imagine shifting from reliance on distant coal-fired plants to a local, distributed network of solar-powered homes, commercial buildings, and community batteries. And here’s the exciting part: Sydney’s existing distribution grid is already in place to support this transformation. This report outlines six key recommendations to make it happen. Discover how #Sydney can lead the way in the energy transition and become a global model for renewable cities.
