On Concrete

Rebecca Stott on how a chance encounter with two council workers got her thinking about concrete.

Rebecca Stott reflects on why we should be looking to the Romans, and our other ancestors, for imaginative ways of building.

"People who walked the planet long before us knew more sustainable ways to build their homes", she writes.

With concrete responsible for 8% of the world's carbon emissions, Rebecca argues that we urgently need to find alternatives.
