SUMMARY

In this episode, we explore how urban and regional planning—one of the most powerful tools for shaping our built environment—could help create a flourishing future for all. As cities grow and face mounting challenges like housing pressure, climate risk, and inequality, the way we plan our infrastructure and public spaces becomes critical. We discuss how inclusive, participatory approaches—such as citizen juries, participatory mapping, and interactive digital tools—can empower communities to co-design better outcomes. Guests Dr. Lara Mottee and Dr. Anthony Kimpton share insights on how planning processes could become more collaborative, data-informed, and responsive to both people and the planet in the decades ahead.
