Podcast and companion blog post
Xavier Smales is an Architect and Andy Tugby is Head of Sustainable Construction at Human Nature, a developer based in the south of England. They join me to discuss their approach to designing sustainable neighbourhoods and how they're putting this into action with a development called The Phoenix.
We discuss urban design principles for sustainable lifestyles, low carbon architecture, circular economy and more.
