It is alsothe place where the greatest potential to make more people’s lives better can berealized. This is an issue of architecture and the built environment. This continenthas long been synonymous with failed investment and corruption. It is theplace where people with good intentions went to see their hopes and dreamsquashed, for any number of reasons, including the two mentioned above. Yet,there are places with stable governments and stable growth, and a growingmiddle class looking to invest its new wealth. Inevitably, investment means construction.So there is a real need for excellent architecture and planning that can ensure the retention of value.
