Not much has changed centuries later. The architectural firm of Foster + Partners has partnered with the Halcrow and Volterra builders (a consultancy group of British economists) to discuss their ambitious plans to construct the biggest airport in the world in the UK. Sources say it will be located at the end of the Thames Estuary. This new airport is aiming to help take the strain off the traffic from the Heathrow airport.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThis airport will be a part of the brand new Thames Hub transport systems with a high-speed railway arrangement for trains running within the UK and Europe.<br \/>\nPlans for a new Thames barrier to extend over the flood-proof zone further along the river are also in works.<br \/>\nThe FT has called this go-getting exercise the &#8220;most radical overhaul of Britain\u2019s transport, logistics, and communication network since the railways building.&#8221; The <a
