Sustainable urban development
|
| Growing economies and populations are escalating the demands for transport, energy, housing, water, communications, and waste management. Communities and companies must look for partners who are able to think ahead, predict future challenges, and provide options to overcome them. Innovative approaches to the toughest problems need agility and knowledge, coupled with a solid foundation of technical and business skills. |

| Managing the world’s most precious resource |
| Water. The essence of life. A critical resource shared by people, places, and things. Careful, intentional management of its quality and volume in industrial processes and urban infrastructure is our responsibility, and it's a huge one.
