What are the ingredients for a liveable city? This episode of Planning TV discusses the range of aspects that planners need to look out for. From designing walkability to the socio-economic context of the site, planners also need to ensure that there is connectivity and integration built into their vision. Good project management is also key, but bringing in all public and private stakeholders to be included in design processes right from the beginning.

Joining us for this discussion are Gary Rice, Director at Interpolitan Ltd; Margot Orr, Global Masterplanning Lead at Atkins Acuity; and Jamie McKie from Dentons' Planning and Public Law Team.
