From elevated hospitals to museums with porous soils, architects are reimagining how buildings can survive the most extreme flooding. How can cities rethink their relationship with water?

At Sacyr, we are leading the transformation of construction in Madrid through innovative circular economy initiatives—from the management of construction sacks to the recycling of plasterboard and the reuse of pallets. This is how we are minimizing the environmental impact of our construction sites.

Social cohesion, low levels of corruption, communication and energy networks, and adaptation to the local culture are essential factors for supporting the maintenance of basic services and structures in a country.

We are part of the joint venture delivering the construction project that will connect the two major railway branches of Barcelona—Baix Llobregat and Vallès—of the Generalitat de Catalunya Railway Network (FGC). This initiative involves the extension of the L8 Metro line by four kilometers, enabling interchanges with Line 5 at Hospital Clínic and with the tram network at Francesc Macià.

From devices that extract water from air to filters that purify polluted water in seconds and systems that make seawater drinkable—these innovations are paving the way for a more sustainable water future.
