Construction Magazine November 2020 | Page 3

FOREWORD W elcome to the Autumn / Winter issue of Construction Global magazine !

There hasn ’ t been much to celebrate as this universally challenging year draws to a close , but the construction industry ’ s concerted efforts to rally round during the crisis has definitely been one of the positive developments of 2020 .
In our own small tribute , we have highlighted the Top 10 Hospitals which have stood out for providing largescale healthcare support globally .
Talking of positive omens , whether it ’ s Google building a new 80-acre campus in San Jose , plans for a £ 5 billion development in North London or new windfarm projects in Spain , there is no shortage of activity . It ’ s clear construction will be key to driving growth in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic and beyond .
While it may be premature to say we ’ re on the road to recovery , they are welcome indicators that activity is on the up across key infrastructure , residential , energy and technology sectors .
There is much work ahead . But with ongoing digital transformation , coupled with strong fundamentals for housing demand and infrastructure growth , change is in the air . The construction industry should enter the new year with cautious optimism – and take pride in its pivotal role supporting the healthcare sector .
