Madeira, the island off Portugal, is regularly voted the best island destination in the world. Home to just a quarter of a million people, the island’s population soars each year as over one million people come from around the world to enjoy its unique mountainous geography. In doing so, they generate huge pressure on the island’s infrastructure, not least its water, sanitation and waste disposal infrastructure, most of which are catered for by A.R.M.

Mankind has truly only scratched the surface of the potential to find power that can be harnessed everywhere in our surroundings. In many of our daily interactions with the city, we’re generating energy without even knowing it. For example, the heat generated by millions of cars on tarmac streets is a form of energy which goes unharnessed, missing out on just one of a number of potential fonts of energy that could yield thousands of gigawatts every year - even reducing environmental impact in the process.

There was a time when ships at sea without any crew on board were called ‘ghost ships.’ Not anymore. Yara International, with the help of the Norwegian state, is at an advanced stage of planning for an autonomous, full electric cargo ship.

Guaripola Guachaca Dióscoro Rojas recently described “the Metro is the most democratic and republican place we have in Santiago” this statement best describes the metro as a socio-economic melting pot that offers beyond a means of transportations to this great city.

Es casi imposible imaginar el impacto que tuvo el Metro Madrid en los residentes de la capital de España cuando llegó por primera vez hace cien años, en 1919.

El sistema de tranvía de la ciudad había estado en funcionamiento durante casi 50 años, se abrió en 1872, pero el metro fue realmente un cambio en el juego. La ruta entre las estaciones Sol y Cuatro Caminos en tranvía tomaba previamente más de media hora; ahora es un viaje de 10 minutos.
