Air pollution is a problem that is inherent to any large city, yet there are some spots where the problem is particularly acute. The City of London was eager to tackle one of these notorious spots, Beech Street tunnel in the Barbican area next to residential buildings.

The flow of passengers on and around stairways is one of the key issues that impacts the passenger experience, with congestion leading to increased journey disruption and greater risk of injury. The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) recently reported that in the 2019-2020 period, 194 injuries were attributed to slips, trips and falls in railway stations. Beyond the obvious distress experienced by the victims of these injuries, there is also a financial impact that reaches millions of pounds a year.

Legacy concrete roads represent 4% of the Highways England strategic road network, with no less than 1,297km of lanes.
