Sustainable construction reaches new heights as we explore groundbreaking mass timber projects transforming skylines worldwide. The architectural landscape is dramatically shifting toward renewable materials, with Boston University's ambitious 12-story Global Studies building leading the charge as the East Coast's largest mass timber structure. This stunning Diller Scofidio + Renfro creation promises expanded green spaces and innovative climate systems when construction begins in 2026.Across the border, Canada continues pioneering tall timber construction with two Toronto marvels: the T3 Bayside development stands as North America's tallest mass timber office building at 42 meters, while Limberlost Place at George Brown College welcomes students as Ontario's first tall timber institutional building. Both structures demonstrate how sustainable materials can create beautiful, high-performance spaces in urban settings.The corporate world embraces this revolution too, with Walmart's headquarters campus in Bentonville now boasting the largest mass timber application in the United States. As Mercer Mass Timber's Nick Milestone explains, these projects deliver impressive environmental benefits—including 20-40% reduced carbon emissions compared to traditional materials—while creating stunning workplaces. Meanwhile, New Zealand has announced an ambitious $4 billion, 75,000-seat stadium in Rotorua that will showcase mass timber's structural possibilities in large-scale venues. These developments across educational, commercial, and recreational sectors signal a fundamental shift in construction priorities toward sustainability without sacrificing beauty or function.Join our growing community of sustainable building enthusiasts by subscribing to the podcast, sharing our content, and connecting with us on LinkedIn to see the stunning renders of these revolutionary projects.

Just over ten years ago Matthew Byrson's life changed in an instant when he was pulled into a piece of machinery on his family's farm. Matthew lost his leg that day and has learnt to live life with a prosthetic but it hasn't stopped him from pushing himself physically on the running trails. As well as working for Peke Waihanga Artificial Limb Service, Matthew is the organiser of an adaptive trail running event being held in Rotorua this weekend. He speaks to Mark Leishman about his motivation to get the event up and running.

Tonight on The Panel, Wallace Chapman and panellists Niki Bezzant and Mark Knoff-Thomas discuss the pushback on the government's decision to raise speed limits, and Rotorua's problem with abandoned shopping trolleys.

Drivers in the Wairarapa will save an estimated three minutes driving between Featherston and Masterton now the speed limit is back up to 100 kilometres an hour. Masterton mayor Gary Caffell and Rotorua mayor Tania Tapsell spoke to Corin Dann.

Rotorua's mayor says cracking down on illegal trolley use is not an attack on homeless people. Police launched Operation Trolley last week, after complaints homeless people with shopping carts were intimidating the public. Officers arrested 13 people, gave out 19 trespass notices and returned 45 trolleys to stores. Te Pati Māori has called it an attack on impoverished people, but mayor Tania Tapsell says that's ridiculous. "We are incredibly grateful for the police actioning this - and we've tried a lot as a council. By the way, that cost us $5000 per month when we were trying to fix it up."
