+## Idea
+
+This file contains some further operations on
+[cospan diagrams](foundation.cospan-diagrams.md) that produce new cospan
+diagrams from given cospan diagrams and possibly other data. Previous operations
+on cospan diagrams were defined in
+[`foundation-core.operations-cospan-diagrams`](foundation-core.operations-cospan-diagrams.md).
+
+## Definitions
+
+### Concatenating cospan diagrams and equivalences of arrows on the left
+
+Consider a cospan diagram `𝒮` given by
+
+```text
+       f         g
+  A ------> S <------ B
+```
+
+and an [equivalence of arrows](foundation.equivalences-arrows.md)
+`h : equiv-arrow f' f` as indicated in the diagram
+
+```text
+          f         g
+     A ------> S <------ B.
+     |         |
+  h₀ | ≃     ≃ | h₁

+## Idea
+
+Given two [cospans](foundation.cospans.md) `F` and `G` such that the source of
+`G` is the target of `F`
+
+```text
+           F                 G
+
+  A -----> S <----- B -----> T <----- C,
+```
+
+then we may
+{{#concept "compose" Disambiguation="cospans of types" Agda=comp-cospan}} the
+two cospans by forming the [pushout](synthetic-homotopy-theory.pushouts.md) of
+the middle [cospan diagram](foundation.cospan-diagrams.md)
+
+```text
+                      C
+                      |
+                      |
+                      ∨
+            B ------> T
+            |         |
+            |         |
+            ∨       ⌜ ∨
+  A ------> S ------> ∙
+```
+
+giving us a cospan `G ∘ F` from `A` to `C`.
