The RICS Podcast What Impacts Our Relationship with The Built Environment? featuring Nicholas Boys Smith & Olga Turner Baker MRICS #182
The quality of spaces relies strongly on how well they’re designed to serve human experiences, so in this episode of The RICS Podcast we explore the power of placemaking.
Olga Turner Baker MRICS (Managing Director, Ekkist) hosts Nicholas Boys Smith (Chair of the Office for Place and Author & Director, Create Streets) whose passion for quality spaces and placemaking makes for a fascinating conversation around good urbanism, new approaches to planning, and the balance between greenbelt and development.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:
- What ignited Nicholas’ passion for high quality spaces, and motivated him to make change
- Why the quality of placemaking is at its current standard
- Projects which demonstrate great placemaking
- The biggest urban design challenges and priorities facing the UK government now and going forward
