HELLO AND WELCOME to the January edition of Construction Global .

The cover this month features Microsoft ’ s HoloLens , where Aviad Almagor , Director of the Mixed Reality Programme at Trimble discusses how the technology has proved advantageous to the construction industry and will transform construction sites in the future .

Also featured is ThyssenKrupp ’ s MULTI , rope-free elevator system . We visited the Innovation Centre in Gijon and spoke with General Manager Javier Sesma Sanchez and his views on how such a transformation in the elevator industry can provide long-term benefits , ensuring people continue to move and continue to travel efficiently in spite of growing populations .

Also included is our top 10 tallest buildings in Mexico . The country has seen a construction boom in the last decade , with an increased numbers of mixed-use tower ’ s dominating Mexico City and Monterrey , providing increased employment facilities and living accommodation within the regions .
