What makes a city is not just its construction, but the culture that thrives within it, and the two walk hand in hand with each other.
This week on The RICS Podcast, Professor Greg Clark, Dr Caitlin Morrissey and Peter Hogg FRICS delve into what we mean by the ‘DNA’ of cities, what lies beneath it, and how the built environment complements what already exists.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:
- How we define the DNA of cities, and the characteristics which comprise that DNA
- The importance of public urban spaces in connecting cities’ inhabitants
- What surveyors should consider about a city’s DNA when undertaking projects
- Great examples of UK cities which have built character
