Description

How do you design a future-proof city? 
 
Vince speaks with the founder Ben van Berkel and Associate Director Sander Versluis of UNStudio – the international architecture firm behind Southbank by Beulah – the residential skyscraper set to change Melbourne for good.  
From climate change and social inequality to technology and global pandemics – designing greener, healthier and smarter built environments must work for the future of our growing communities, our cities and our planet.  
But how can we design a city ready for this kind of future? How might following people on the streets of London help? How can we use data to maintain the serendipity of chance encounters within a space? How can we use architecture to solve the world’s most pressing challenges?  
 Tune in to discover how we can future-proof our cities for generations to come. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
