Speaking at Expo Real, she said: 'It looks at the €57 trillion infrastructure gap, the fact that we're going to have more people living in our cities and in closer densities.
'We have to think about actually placemaking around cities and putting people into our cities. But the number one thing that employers were telling us that they were worried about was the war for talent and how do we attract that young talent into our professions.'
