Placemaking from city streets to country fields to the bottom of sea

Episode notes

Crown Estate's Dan Labbad delves into how placemaking impacts people's land, lives, leisure and learning. Placemaking is about much more than bricks and mortar - it directly affects people’s employment, leisure, education, and communities. In this wide-ranging interview, special guest Dan Labbad joins Richard Vernon to reflect on how placemaking can contribute to social and economic prosperity - and why collaboration and partnerships are more vital now than ever. As CEO of The Crown Estate , Dan certainly has a unique perspective to share on placemaking. His organisation occupies the space between the private and public sector, with a portfolio that includes city and country properties across the UK, including a substantial rural holding and Windsor Great Park. It also manages the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland and plays a major role in the UK’s offshore wind sector. In this podcast, Dan talks with Ashurst partner Richard Vernon about how placemaking can rise to the challenges of climate change, threats to the natural world, and social sustainability. And they discuss the need for learning, experimentation and collaboration to enable long-term social mobility.
