Birmingham Rising: Exploring Density with SimpsonHaugh
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today's episode, we're joined by Matthew Ayres and James Hind of SimpsonHaugh to explore why some of the world's most loved cities, from Barcelona to Paris to Vienna, are wonderfully dense, and what makes great urban design work so well. Together, we discuss Birmingham’s future and the exciting opportunity to approach growth in a thoughtful, well-designed way.
Matthew and James share their insight on the real upsides, like how smart density can save money, support better transport, build stronger communities, and contribute to a more sustainable city, and we imagine what an even greater Birmingham could look like by 2035. An optimistic chat about great design, thriving neighbourhoods and the kind of city we'd all love to call home.
