This week we're celebrating our THIRTIETH EPISODE! To celebrate, we're going back into The B1M archives and looking at one of last years smash-hit videos "The Secret Subway That Could Save New York". The Interborough Express would fill a huge gap in the city’s transit needs. However, no project is affordable or straight forward in the Big Apple.


Later in the show, we chat about a boulevard in Düsseldorf that's intended to resemble a light-filled canyon. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, "Calatrava Boulevard" will modernise the space between Königsallee Boulevard, Königstrasse, and Steinstrasse in the heart of the city. Also, we talk about Chicago's iconic Tribune Tower finding new life as a luxury residential development. Built in the early 1920s, the neo-gothic building on North Michigan Avenue was home to the Chicago Tribune newspaper between 1925 and 2018. Now Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) has worked with developers CIM Group and Golub and Company to repurpose the 34-storey structure and create 162 residential units, retaining its original lobby and the famous Chicago Tribune sign.


We end the show with an email sent in by Noa from Sweden AND a lovely Apple Podcasts review that includes the question "...outside of The UK, which is your favourite European City architecturally?" - it gets spicy.
