The secrets of urban planners

What makes a neighbourhood truly feel like home? From garden suburbs to post-war housing estates, the challenge of creating liveable, lovable places is one that has shaped generations of urban planners — with mixed results. Samuel Hughes is a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and one of the UK’s leading voices on housing and urban design. He speaks with Georgina Godwin about how we can build places people are proud to live in — drawing on the history of placemaking and the ambitious new developments taking shape in East London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
