The RICS Podcast

Regenerating Towns & Cities with Tom Macartney FRICS, Peter Andrews MRICS and Kevin Murray FRTPI #154

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Episode 154

Surveyors’ role in shaping the built environment is hugely evident in the development of new towns, and there’s an invaluable reliance on public-private partnerships in such processes.

In this episode of The RICS Podcast, Tom Macartney FRICS (Hallbar Homes), Kevin Murray FRTPI (Kevin Murray Associates) & Peter Andrews MRICS (Cliffe House Estates) explore challenges in the planning system, long-term strategic thinking in revitalising towns and cities, and the surveyor’s role in creating successful development frameworks.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • The balance between work by development corporations and regeneration companies
  • How much change relies on public and private sector input
  • Whether the public or private sector needs to make the first move on stimulating demand in new areas
  • Avoiding building entirely new towns by leveraging existing infrastructure
