Heated sidewalks and bike paths
The precedent: Although hydronic-heated sidewalks are in operation everywhere from Reykjavik and Akureyri, Iceland, to Bill Gates’ driveway, nothing compares with the scale of Sidewalk’s idea.The Pitch: Delivering “smart containers” 24/7 through underground tunnels using electric-powered drone vehicles coordinated at a central hub, which will also handle waste, storage and a borrowing service, thereby cutting truck traffic by 72 per cent.
The precedent: So far, a wooden neighbourhood only exists in Sidewalk Labs’ imagination, but the tallest wooden building in the world is the Mjøstårnet in Brumunddal, Norway, at 85.4 metres. It was built using CLT and was completed in March.The Pitch: Partnering with telecommunications companies to build a super-Passive Optical Network, which allows for greater connectivity and longer reach per each fibre-optic cable.
