Rows over immigration which blame migrants for everything from lack of services to housing shortages fail to consider the role that migrants have played in fighting for more for everyone and creating great cities. Lesser – known migrant, but brilliant engineer Marc Isambard Brunel invented the Tunnelling Shield which paved the way for the underground system and the channel tunnel. This is the first of a series investigating the role of migration in the development of civilization.

This video is so interesting. Now I know who Brunel university was named after! It’s interesting to see how the first underwater tunnels were made, Brunel’s clever thinking and how hard people worked and how they were willing to risk their lives to make things better for everyone by creating a solution to the transport problem and Brunels determination to prove that his idea would work.
