Podcast: Design and Landscape tapes
This podcast series links policy and practice with academic thinking and teaching.
It is hosted by Dr Philip Black and Dr Ian Mell and sponsored by Pegasus Group. We engage with leaders in urban design, green infrastructure, urban development, and planning, to explore:
- the influences that shape investment in urban landscapes;
- how design and landscape thinking frame development;
- the types of investment that are currently popular and how this might change in the future;
- why specific designs are used in specific locations.
The first nine episodes will be published here throughout 2021.
The final podcast will be hosted as a physical live event in London and Manchester.
We discuss how integrated, urban design and green infrastructure can deliver quality place-making.
This is highlighted using examples from Europe and the USA.
We explore the challenges facing Manchester in delivering well-connected development and public realm.
Highlighted examples include Piccadilly Gardens, Ancoats/New Islington, Mayfield, Gorton, and Ardwick. Special guests include Mark Graham (LDA Design); and Bob Phillips (Urban Imprint and Royal Town Planning Institute).
