Building Equality: Are megaprojects creating a better world?

We are building our physical world through megaprojects, but how do they shape our social world? Can they be a force for good? This event brings together a panel of experts across project delivery to discuss how megaprojects could better enable conditions of equality and inclusivity in society.

This session will invite panellists and attendees to share insights and ideas; to ask honest and challenging questions about how we deliver major projects; and to explore what role academic research can play in constructing equality across industry.
