In the latest ‘IABSE in Conversation’ we try something different – two guests, connected by the work they do at Bridges to Prosperity. Avery Bang is a Director, and Nicola Turrini is the Partnership Manager based in Rwanda. We discuss the great work B2P does around the world constructing hundreds of footbridges that safely connect isolated rural communities with health providers, schools and new sources of income. Avery and Nico describe how sites are identified, designs developed and construction organised in these remote areas. Along the way we compare the American and Italian education systems and decide that everything is our parents’ fault.
