May 2011
A Halcrow-produced video has won top prize at the recent Hermes Creative Awards 2011.
Halcrow’s short film, “Designing financing models for sustainable infrastructure”, was recognised with a platinum award from the international organisation when the winners were announced in early May 2011.
Jointly produced by Halcrow’s corporate communications and economics and business solutions teams, the video set the scene for a discussion panel at The Ideas Economy: Intelligent Infrastructure conference in New York. Hosted by weekly news and international affairs publication The Economist, the February event explored a range of innovative solutions to help meet the challenges posed by a rising global population. Halcrow was one of two platinum sponsors.
Following the screening, Michael Della Rocca, group board director and president of Halcrow’s North American business moderated a session on “Money and the modern planet: what creative financing models can build and sustain the infrastructure of tomorrow?” Panellists included Andrew Price, the company’s chief economist; Marcia Hale, president of Building America’s Future Educational Fund; and George Bilicic, chairman of power, utilities and infrastructure at Lazard.
