Even in places that are experiencing war, planning continues to function. But how? And how is the work of planners influenced by the need to contribute to healing in a post-conflict society?
Marina Milosev, a 2026 Planner woman of Influence, has spent much of the last year working on local plans in Ukraine, on behalf of UN-Habitat. She also lived through conflict during a childhood in Serbia.
In a conversation that ranges across the challenges of working in a region afflicted by armed conflict, the upheaval and trauma created by war and the need to support societies to heal, Marina talks about her work in Ukraine and how it aligns with the themes of equality and inclusiveness that have characterised her career to date.
The team also discuss the latest issue of The Planner, take a lengthy diversion into the work of Stephen Sondheim and consider the relationship between planning and music.
