THIS CHANNEL HAS TURNED ME INTO AN architecture fanatic, LOVE YOUR GUYS CONTENT

[nanaokyere]

The One in Toronto has just applied for a height extension from 82 to 94 floors. Which recently got approved. Also, there's 2 more supertalls in the same area (one is in construction as i type this) at the bottom of Yonge street that will alter the skyline forever. They too have applied for height extensions going from the previous 90 floors to a new record breaking height of 104. Making the one under construction the first 100 storie building in Canada. The second one will go from 80 to 94 floors.

There's also a lot of supertalls that have been approved but havent started construction yet. I would love to see a video made on these projects!

I would love to visit Notre Dame again, once restored. Restoration projects are just as important as new construction.

[StoriesNyTwitch]

Damn I miss the Mario & Sonic Olympic video games....

I know France is already featured enough, but not including Grand Paris Express is a spectacular omission.

[MaxS-hnwe]

Please do a full video on Sydney Metro… 3 lines under construction including a connection to a second international airport (due to open 2026). Not to mention Sydney has just opened the second longest road tunnel in the world with the world’s biggest underground interchange.

[KyrilPG]

There's one major point about Paris that was left out : Transit !
In 2024, there are 4 important public transportation expansions set to open :
The very first sections of the Grand Paris Express project, a humongous metro expansion.

The 6 km Eastern extension of M11 towards Rosny Bois Perrier interchange station connecting with RER E and future M15 circular metro line (South section of M15 set to open in 2025).

The short Northern (2.3km) and large Southern (14+ km) extensions of M14, the core backbone line of the GPE, up to the GPE's main hub station in the North, which is Saint-Denis Pleyel, and to Orly airport (Paris second one) in the South.


Plus the first phase of the very large Western extension of RER E with 3 new major interchange stations along a new 8km long deep tunnel under the hyperdense core of Paris and La Défense business district:
Porte Maillot / Neuilly station, a huge trapezoidal underground light-well under a skylight ground-roof and lined by rows of caged escalators.
La Défense CNIT station, a giant cavernous underground cathedral that was built "like a mole" under the still functioning CNIT expo center by extending its foundations and creating a huge cavern underneath.
During construction it looked a bit like Tokyo's flood reservoirs with its giant pillars.
Nanterre la Folie station, a large, mostly open-air station built in a trench and partially covered by buildings. It will act as a partial terminus for some trains and thus has 6 or 7 tracks if I recall correctly.
The new underground stations are gorgeous and continue on the "giant cavernous underground cathedral" legacy of Paris RER stations.
The rest of the Western extension towards the far flung suburbs of the West will open later.

And finally, the circular tramway line T3b's extension from Porte d'Asnières to Porte Dauphine, further advancing the still incomplete loop.
It will serve Porte Maillot / Neuilly interchange and connect there with M1 and RER C & E.

All opening in spring 2024, that's about 30 kilometers of new underground extensions plus a few others on the surface that are expected to increase capacity by at least 1+ million riders per day.

Strange to not mention these as they truly are major construction engineering / infrastructure developments.
They represent the first milestone and kick-start the massive acceleration of the Paris "transit-a-palooza" madness. (After a decade of mostly tramway lines, a dozen of them opening left and right, plus a few metro extensions, now comes the big and heavy stuff).

Very interesting video as always, and happy new year Fred!

Happy 2024 everyone! Can't wait to cover some epic projects on the channel this year. Let's DO IT ✊🏗

[DanielleMoren]

Actuallt started studying civil engineering with specifically a BIM alignmet at bachelors. It’s because people like you at B1M that inspired me. I’m due to graduation in the summer this year 🙂

I actually ended up being so good at BIM they assigned me to teach AutoCAD and Revit for a class.

[tanaychourasia]

The infra upgrade projects in Mumbai definitely deserve a mention. A new airport, a 21km sealink that connects to that, the Coastal Road that redefines Mumbai's west coast, and the 14 metro lines at various stages of development, all deserve mention.

[studman]

Would be nice if the US could actually pull off a country wise mass transit upgrade

[JoeSchaller]

What they're doing to Paris currently looks really cool and could become a new benchmark for Olympia. Very promising!

[Jabberstax]

I do enjoy the annual B1M list of yearly projects.

[grahamhufton]

The height of Toronto's 'the one' was increased to 328.4 m

[gavinm]

“Kuala Lumpur has a thing for sky bridges” don’t we all 😍🤤🤤

[YannickFilms]

The new skyscrapers in Frankfurt look amazing! Already shot a musicvideo infront of them!

[mwmentor]

Thanks for a really interesting video Fred . Fun fact about the Eiffel Tower - which featured in the background as you were talking about the temporary structures the French are constructing for the Olympics later this year - it was also meant to be temporary when it was initially constructed... Anyway, some cool projects arriving this year. Have a great 2024!

[Samuel_J]

Some amazing projects to look forward to completing! Looks like I'm biased to infrastructure as for me Kaoshiung Station and Sydney's Metro are standout projects. The One and Land-Sea Center look great but I guess that's what you get from KPF and Foster. The sandwich toaster is nice too :D

[scottmackay]

The International Land Sea Center in Chongqing is in one of the many business districts, but isn't anywhere near where most people consider downtown. (Chongqing is truly massive.) Also it's on the Jialing river not the Yangtze.

Jeez. Spain is just like America. Investing too much into sports stadiums. Not enough into public infrastructure
