WBEF: The Planet of Cities with Professor Greg Clark & Kay Pitman #44

The built environment, infrastructure, leadership, governance and investors will all invariably play a role in creating good urbanisation for the planet of cities we’re likely to see develop.Given the emerging importance of decarbonisation and social cohesion in cities, it’s a prime time for the return of The Planet of Cities, Professor Greg Clark’s column on the future of our cities and the people within them.In this week’s World Built Environment Forum podcast, Greg joins Kay Pitman to discuss the magic and DNA of cities, how their history and shared experiences inform their traits, and whether the future should bring us a ‘15 minute city’ or a ‘45 minute metropolis’.This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:The planet of cities we’re likely to see with 10 billion people in 10 thousand citiesCities’ DNA and traits, and how they link into the principles of epigeneticsHow we ensure good urbanisation occurs as the population within cities growsThe 15 minute city vs the 45 minute metropolisRoyal Institution of Chartered Surveyors:https://www.rics.org/uk/RICS Podcast Pagehttps://www.rics.org/podcast/Kieran Halliwellhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kdhalliwell/
